Sorry, but this doesn't match at all with my lived experience. I regularly lend and borrow stuff to and from friends and acquaintances and we nearly always return it in good shape. And this really isn't that uncommon here in Europe. And libraries for books are also still a reasonably common thing, although I admit that with ebook readers being available I personally stopped using them.
People even lend and borrow expensive mechanized farming equipment here, and this is not a commercial service or so, just neighbourhood help with people at most covering fuel expenses or so.
