    I always liked to imagine the federation had a separate economic system for trading with capitalist coded races in Star Trek.

    This is head cannon? I thought thats just how things worked since The Federation never seemed to have a use for it other then trading externally.

      I was under the impression that the writers were wishy-washy about that sort of thing. Sort of a ‘it functionally works this way, but varies as the plot demands.’ CyborgMarx has pointed out it definitely gets a reference in an episode.
