Why talk about a post-scarcity economy when scarcity of livable land, oil, electricity, water, and more are all in our near future. Maybe you could make this case seriously if you completely ignore the current economic meltdown and the effects of global warming, which are only just beginning to ramp up. Alternate economic systems chat is interesting, but any system based in post-scarcity fantasy land is not worth discussing.

Post-scarcity implies to me something more drastic then that, ie essentially unlimited resources and manufacturing capacity (nanomachines are usually involved). The resources we have will increasingly be stretched by global warming, not to mention massive population growth. Obviously if distribution was even what you say is true...
