Are you talking about a technocracy?
Edward Bellamy wrote in 1888 this book called Looking backwards, telling about the society and governance in the year 2000, which resembles a utopian socialist model adopted by all world governments.
His concepts are similar to what I've mentioned:
-Meritocratic society where everyone is given semi-flexible career paths according to their strong traits, given further ranks based on their long term performance (I guess the outstanding ones are elected for official governance positions)
-Everyone is paid the same salary
-Working hours reduced, those with high risk jobs work less
-People with disabilities or redundant skills are also given easy tasks to do, and get paid the same salary as others
-Debit cards are used for payments
-Live music is broadcast to homes using telephone lines.
-Wealth accumulation has become disadvantageous somehow and people are fine with that?
-Central stores have branches having more or less the same selection of goods with fixed prices, no bargaining is done.
-Goods are delivered to homes thru a pneumatic tube network.
-All production is done by the state.
-Unnecessary spending by world governments are discouraged.
Still listening to its audibook on youtube, almost halfway through. He fails to mention how people are not discontented with that government system, as it does not allow for free market.
Funny thing is the book when published triggered some 40 more books written till 1906 by other authors in response to Bellamy's imagined future government system.
