I was thinking about this yesterday as well. But with the concept of, if tastes in music, design and architecture don't change, people will not change and buy new things. I think we might be getting to that point. My Saturn car with the plastic panels looks as good today as it did 11 years ago. It could easily look the same 20 years from now. Car companies want change and make money with change. Clothing companies make money when all of your clothes are out of style.
You will always need energy and food, so they will to be created somehow. Someone will have to work.
There will need to be no hate, crime, or terrorism. There will always be poor people and rich people.
I just don't see how the perfect peaceful state can ever be achieved in the US. (Unless they put happy drugs in the water and food)
War and the quest for sex are the two things that improve the economy a lot. Without those and the innovations that they cause, you are left to medical research, technology and space exploration in peacetime. You could have advancements in those fields during peacetime that would cause prosperity.
People will always want things they can't afford and will work hard for them, if there are jobs that they can do.
