About this listen
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. What are the prospects of automation and artificial intelligence? Is there really no money in Star Trek? Is Trekonomics at all possible?

Loved this !
This one is Everything I had ever hoped for in examining the Star Trek universe from the economics (and every species within the trading framework in ST) point of view. Particularly enjoyed the Ferengi focus in late chapter as well. Absolutely everything is seen and wondered about, this Author is amazing, Thank you ! 🖖🏻

A Great Listen!
Overall I found this audiobook to be amazing. It is an interesting look into the economics of Star Trek and what real world lessons we can learn from it. My only negative is the narrator sometimes pronouncing the character names wrong, which took me out of the zone briefly. This is not a big deal overall, but I though that I'd mention it. I would recommend this book to Trek fans and to people with an interest in economics.

An idea of the future you want
You don't have to know star trek. Or even like it to appreciate the depth of philosophy this book converses.
The world we live in is not sustainable the ideas this book explores are already happening in it's infancy.
