UFP Poll Do you think money will ever become obsolete?
#4 I122

In the canon Star Trek universe, the accumulation of wealth is no longer of vital importance. People just work to improve man kind. Do you think we will ever get to the point were money becomes a thing of the past? Feel free to vote in the poll above and leave a comment below! Happy voting!

I would hope sometime in the far future that money will be irrelevant. That we all come togeather to form a stronger civilization. But its hard to see us make those bounds currently.

I have alyways said that the only thing that would shake us off our course would be a world disaster, like world war 3 in which nuclear weapons are used and there is a fallout. Destructive forces on the planet that leaves many cities in devastation.

Time will only tell.

Seriously doubt it ever will. Even after WWIII, the world would look more like Fallout 3 than people building FTL drives.

I only see the abandonment of money possible, when we could have unlimited resources. Humanity simply needs money to fairly distribute the running-out resources of Earth. So when the replicator is invented, perhaps then we are a little closer to an utopian post-capitalist society.
But I doubt anyone wants to work anymore then. Most of the people would be on a life-long holiday, where they have everything and do nothing. Global stagnation.

I don't see it happening. It's human nature to assign value to items, and to barter for goods. Even though in Star Trek: First Contact we're told that there is no money in the future, there is still the use of latinum as a currency, and the elusive Federation Credits.
