"The greatest extent possible" may not be that great - how do you do
serious research today without linking into the research/corporate
infrastructure in the current economy? While I think alternative
economies might be good as competition for the current one, it would
take quite a while before they could support that kind of
independence. Lab grade enzymes are far more expensive than gold per
microgram.
