Has anyone ever heard a decent rationalization of how the Federation economy worked?

Well, in a robot or 'replicator' based economy, physical posssessions would have almost no intrinsic value except for sentimental reasons. Additional worlds would relieve real estate pressures for living space and transporters would certainly remove the requirement for a lot of private vehicles.

Labor would still be expensive .... this could be a post on it's own. How replicator based economies would work.
