  2. “Getting Real about Economics in the Future” - Star Trek: The Next Generation. In a money-less, post-scarcity, fully egalitarian society, why do some people end up commanding starships and others end up tending bar, teaching nursery school, or swabbing down the holodecks after Riker used them? Are there really no social classes in the future?
