I guarantee those execs think they will be building Star Trek / Federation level society. But the comment above is right, it will be Cyberpunk just with shittier technologies driven by “the invisible hand of the market” or some other drivel.
They do, they don’t inside the federation because it’s in practice largely post scarcity. Outside of federation space they use federation credits (likely based on stores of rare hard/impossible to replicate materials) and specifically around ds9 the currency was gold pressed latinum.
Also voyager with replicator rations and Holodeck time.

Literally Snow Crash, each burb is a independent corpocity state
Oh they know exactly what kind of cities they want to build. The wealthy have been wanting their slaves back since 1865.
I believe the federation in Star Trek doesn’t even use money

they only allowed it on ds9 space station , when dealing with other races. in the form of latinum. also barring the marque colonies.
DS9 just threw the whole concept of a utopia out all together. With some pretty great results, so I’m OK with it.
