Is there a more efficient system out there where we can advance without such high costs? We need a system that cultivates the desire to advance humanity opposed to cultivating the desire to achieve monetary gain. Jacque Fresco proposes such a system. He is the creator of The Venus Project a social model centered on the scientific method, eliminating inefficiencies, maximizing the human potential and implementing a resource based economy. The Venus Project states: "A Resource-Based Economy is a 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."
