Trekonomics

For 40+ years now, Star Trek has managed to present us with a utopian vision of the future in which money does not exist while simultaneously never really explaining how this is possible. This is an article about how Star Trek is an economic fantasy and speaks to a false belief in the perfectibility of mankind.

As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."
