Resource Based Economy
What's a Resource Based Economy?
A Resource-Based Economy (RBE), developed by futurist Jacque Fresco, is a proposed socioeconomic system where all goods and services are available without money, credits, or debt. It replaces political, financial, and market-driven decision-making with scientific resource management and automation to provide abundance, sustainability, and high living standards for everyone.
The Core Economic Mechanism
-
Abundance & Sustainability: The system assumes Earth has plentiful resources, which are declared the "common heritage of all Earth's inhabitants".
-
No Money or Barter: Goods and services are available to all without a price tag, replacing the monetary-based, scarcity-oriented environment.
-
Scientific Management: Decisions are based on scientific analysis, sustainability, and technical feasibility rather than politics or profit.
-
Automation: Advanced technology and automated systems are used for production and distribution, eliminating the need for mundane work and increasing efficiency.
-
Purpose: The main aim is to foster a sustainable, prosperous society that provides a high standard of living, eliminates waste, and addresses human needs directly.
Roadmap for Realization
The project follows a multi-phase plan to transition from current society to this new vision:
Phase 1: Maintenance of the 21-acre research center in Venus, Florida, to showcase designs and proposals.
Phase 2: Production of documentaries (like Paradise or Oblivion) and multimedia to educate the public.
Phase 3: Development of a Center for Resource Management to act as a think tank and a stepping stone to building new cities.
Phase 4: Construction of an Experimental Research City to test and validate the RBE hypothesis in a real-world setting.
More information on an RBE can be found on Jacque Fresco's exclusive website, which serves as a comprehensive digital repository for Jacque Fresco’s life's work, offering a mix of educational resources, historical archives, and future transition plans. www.thevenusproject.com
