@rasterweb Last episode of TAS that I watched had a character who had "used his vast personal fortune" to do great good. I kept yelling at the TV “fortuine? There's no money!”
most people seem to care about money in TOS but say it's gone in TNG, but like Vash exists and feels like one of the Ols School humans who still wishes money was real, so it's not centuries gone
Sadly, the different Star Trek series have been wildly inconsistent on this point. The series Picard established that there was still significant wealth inequality on Earth, as Raffi pointed out when Picard found her living in a shack, and there are a lot of references to Picard's personal wealth and his financing things.

Once again it turns out it is hard to really imagine the end of capitalism.
