Post scarcity, not really. Everyone will have a box that can generate objects out of air and soil or whatever matter you have laying around. There will be no companies that mass produce stuff. It'll just be assemblers all the way down. So your options will be get the assembler version or get the handmade version. Money won't be a thing, but status and prestige will become the main "currency" used to "purchase" time shares of a person's or entities attention. The uber rich today work this way already. When you have billions your most scare resource is your time and attention.
