>Post Scarcity Economics
That is an oxymoron.
-
Economics is BASED on the allocation of scarce resources.
We live in a world of scare resources so your premise is flawed.

Ideas have post scarcity potential because they can be copied for free
Material goods are closer to scarcity
If you can not drink water faster than it can be cleaned after you pee and sweat it out then that approaches post scarcity
If you can not breath oxygen and convert it to carbon dioxide faster than plants convert the carbon dioxide back to oxygen than that approaches post scarcity
And I am going to log off and leave soon
I have things to do

It is only partly flawed
Some resources are artificially made scarce
By mimimizing artificial scarcity we approach closer and closer to the ideal goal of post scarcity
Everything else can be given as a gift or bartered for without money
When you go to a restaurant they often essentially give you as much free water as you can drink because they are approaching post scarcity for water
Gifts are less paper work than the accounting involved wity barter
