Sometimes called the unofficial economics of Star Trek, It is a system by which the means of production are owned by the worker, and are compensated by the amount of effort or sacrifice required to get the job done.
eg. Firefighter makes way more than CEO due to dangerous nature and physical demands of the work versus the sometimes sedentary nature of the job of CEO.
Though I think they miss the mark on the current definition available... [

A system where central planning toward the benefit of mankind over fake money, sounds quite appealing.
Gimmie your thoughts...
Open all shelved patents, shut down the money rings and make em work for a living.
