If money did not limit you for survival, you have plenty of food and a home, what would you want to do with your life? Would it make you free to pursue the ‘work’ that makes you happy in life? This is a discussion in Trekonomics by Manu Saadia. A very interesting book about the economics of the Star Trek universe, pre-ST:DIS. #StarTrek #Trekonomics #ManuSaadia #nonfiction #books

It looks like no one here read #Trekonomics.

Here is what I found so far:
* A good podcast about the book https://www.wired.com/2016/05/geeks-guide-star-trek-economics/ with the author #ManuSaadia.
* I get the impression that the author is not an #anarchist but advocating for moneyless fulfillment of basic needs and meritocracy.
* I'm more skeptical about post-scarcity due to the climate crisis.
* I still want to read it eventually. (You can find it at http://libgen.rs/)

Did somone read the book #Trekonomics: The #Economics of #StarTrek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trekonomics). Do you consider it interesting from an #anarchist #economies point of view?

@kaffeeringe@social.tchncs.de @blueplanetslittlehelper@mas.to @textbook@social.tchncs.de @nawi@fedi.absturztau.be Wir müssen da sehr schnell völlig anders denken - entweder wir begreifen, dass der #Kapitalismus tot ist, oder wir werden selbst nicht mehr lange leben. Schluss mit dem endlosen Wachstum; das Geldsystem müssen wir überwinden. Wenn wir die Kurve überhaupt noch kriegen, werden wir wohl irgendwann bei sowas wie #Trekonomics landen. Die Frage ist, wie lange und schmerzvoll der Weg wird.
