The Venus Project is please to introduce
some of the interviewees from their
forthcoming series "The Choice is Ours".
The term and meaning of a Resource-Based Economy was originated by
Jacque Fresco. It is a holistic social and economic system in which all
goods and services are available without the use of money, credits,
barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become
the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few.
The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is
abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources
through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our
survival.
Modern society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing and medical care; update our educational system; and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society.
A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population. In an economy based on resources rather than money, we could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.
