Maybe in the future people will have something else depending on the standard of living. I mean, look at the future in Star Trek TNG—they don’t have capitalism anymore because they don’t have a capital to speak of. They have replicators that make them whatever they want, so it’s something else that is can’t be named by us. And people could perhaps achieve something like that one day with nuclear fusion.
But notice- especially on DS9 - capitalism still thrives....
It' s nearly a religion to the Ferengi......
And they aren' t giving away the latinum
