What would the world look like if everybody had everything they wanted or needed? Trekonomics, the premier book in financial journalist Felix Salmon’s imprint PiperText, approaches scarcity economics by coming at it backward - through thinking about a universe where scarcity does not exist. Delving deep into the details and intricacies of 24th-century society, Trekonomics explores postscarcity and whether we, as humans, are equipped for it. It’s also a universe where war and poverty have been eradicated, money doesn’t exist, and work is indistinguishable from leisure. What are the prospects of automation and artificial intelligence? Is there really no money in Star Trek? Is Trekonomics at all possible?
Trekonomics looks at the morals, values, and hard economics that underpin the series’ ideal society, and its sources of inspiration both inside and outside the science-fiction canon. After reading this book, you’ll be able to answer the question: If you could live in Star Trek’s economic utopia, would you want to?

“Delving deep into the details and intricacies of 24th-century society”???
There are none. It’s a TV show. There’s no deeply thought out political plan that would work if tried. There’s just actors on a set reading lines! Particularly ridiculous ones when it comes to economics.

Try and take a leap of imagination then, it’s what literature is about sometimes…

This is actually a fun listen. It’s exploratory and recognizes it is looking at fiction, science fiction.
Sense of humor?

My two favorite things, Star Trek and economic discourse. I’ll be throwing some books on the back burner for this one.
Also, what is up with the guy who can’t seperate fantasy from reality? Sad…

Really enjoyable treatise on post-scarcity economics, dressed up in sci-fi fandom. “InsaneCrazyMad” definitely living up to their username
