Replicators:
Some authors argue that replicators enabled a post-scarcity economy - but who has access to them, and how?
I don't think every household has one: even on starships, the higher-ranking officers have exclusive replicators, with the rest of the crew sharing theirs.
Are there communal replicators? How could they be maintained in a way that everyone's access is ensured at all times?
