Here's my rejoinder: http://movementarian.com/2006/12/10/comic-book-owners-of-the-world-unite/ Cheers.

In Next Gen ST, they started to think about whether the economy was just something to be evolved past or whether some hard constants might remain. By the time of Deep Space Nine, the Ferenghi were more fully developed as unapologetic capitalists, who had an important role to play in keeping things moving. Perhaps they came around to "the future" as not evenly distributed. Original series Star Trek assumed much of this without explaining it.
