A peaceful Utopian world where people due not need to worry about financial troubles or poverty.

"I would like before I die to live in a community where no individual has an income that could not provide his family with the ordinary comforts and pleasures of life, and where no individual has an income so large that he did not have to think about his expenditures, and where the spread between is not so great but that the essentials of life may lie within the possession of all concerned. There could be no give and take in many ways for pleasure, but there need be no acceptance of charity."

- What I Hope to Leave Behind, Lines 8-15.

Hope this helps ^^
