Part 4/11:
- Resource-Based Economy (RBE): Unlike UBI or UHI, Fresco’s RBE seeks to eliminate money altogether. Instead, resources are directly allocated based on need and availability, mediated by advanced AI and technology, fostering sustainability, efficiency, and a focus on human development.
The Core of Jacque Fresco’s Utopian Vision
Born in 1916, Jacque Fresco dedicated his life to reimagining society. Witnessing the stark disparities during the Great Depression, he questioned why abundant natural resources coexisted with widespread poverty. This led him to develop the idea of a resource-based society, where wealth is derived not from monetary accumulation but from the sustainable stewardship of Earth’s resources.
