They currently work best online, obviously. Any open source project. Wikipedia, or any of the hundreds of more specialized wikis out there. The OpenStreetMap project. But there are realworld examples too. Any volunteer effort is primarily motivated by reputation economics. And, of course, my adopted native city-state is built every year almost entirely that way.
All limited circumstances, but a lot more than there were 10 or certainly 20 years ago. We're still exploring the changing boundaries between what is best done monetarily and what works with reputation systems. I suspect there will always be monetary incentives, but I'm hoping we can replace large swaths with reputation as our tech (better communication, cheaper/easier fabrication tools, etc) continues to improve. Given a sufficiently post-scarcity technological base, I honestly think the world would come to resemble Burning Man.
