An attempt to explain how the Federation can operate without money.
A valiant attempt, but I fail to see how such a thing would work without the government keeping track of umpteen other factors in your life that would be even more invasive and potentially destructive than just using money. And that's just treating the Federation as an isolated ecosystem. But it's not, it deals with other races that do use money all the time. Converting all currency amounts into equivalent labor contracts would get overly invasive really quickly, and prolong the process even more.
