Jaque Fresco (Resource-Based Economy)

Jacque Fresco was a futurist and social engineer who developed the concept of a Resource-Based Economy (RBE). An RBE aims to replace monetary systems with the sharing and sustainable management of Earth's resources, utilizing advanced technology and scientific principles. In this model, goods and services are produced and distributed based on need, efficiency, and ecological considerations, rather than profit or market forces. Fresco envisioned a society where automation and sustainable practices eliminate waste, inequality, and scarcity, fostering a more equitable and environmentally resilient civilization. It’s a holistic approach to creating a sustainable, data-driven, and cooperative future.
