Nope...not going to happen. Look to DUNE and other Sci Fi sources (such as some of the Star Treks); to observe various economic models of those on the futuristic earth and other planets. Even in the most austere of conditions, barter economies will remain (being a "primitive" type of capitalism). Today in the US, barter arrangements are more popular than ever, some groups even sanctioned by banks. The exchanges involved trading time (donate your hours of expertise to the group in exchange for time credits that you can draw upon for the skills of other members). The most advanced system of economics is (of course) in the Feringi planet; all ardent capitalists and skilled traders.
