Yeah. Star Trek is very "Look at this cool society" without "This is how we got there" I dont know if it is still canon, but the vulcans supposedly simply "fixed" earths economy and transitioned humans away from money. Its very surface level. They never go into depth about how that was done or what the downsides were. Even in say, Arthur C Clarke's childhoods end, there were details about the how and why people resisted the overlords.
