I think that Star Trek is communistic and Star Wars is free market capitalism.

The Star Trek economy is a Gene Roddenberry fantasy.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with anything even faintly resembling reality.
The irony of a fabulously wealthy man imagining such a childish socialist nonsense is stunning.

Star Trek never even really tried to show how their economy works.
I would assume they do indeed still have money, used for all luxuries, including eating at a restaurant.
But why anyone would still cook when you can push a button and get any food you want is beyond me.

The basis of the Star Trek economy is unlimited energy availability resulting in unlimited goods.
Economics is the study of scarcity, of which there was none, either in material goods nor in energy.

Star Trek is just another utopia dream that ignores the fact that nothing man needs just grows on trees.
