There's an episode in Lower Decks where a civilization is burning money since they have "replicators" and you can just make anything. Assuming you have free energy (sun) and automated manufacturing, maybe that could be possible but I wonder if the concept of money ever goes away. I still believe in merit eg. why try if you get the same pay as doing less. And doing it for fun... But this is why open source Linux devices have broke cameras (no drivers).
