Does the Venus Project have any merit? Is a resource based economy possible? Jacque Fresco dreamed of a world in which all goods and services would be available to everyone who needed them, a world without money or credit.
Some say that if our current system collapses Fresco’s dream is the only alternative. Do you agree? Can you see other alternatives?
Is it possible for a resource based economy to be maintained without a dictatorship? Is it a recipe for an Orwellian nightmare world? Is human nature compatible with such a system or will humans, if free, naturally rebel against it? Is a resource based economy even possible? How would it work?
