Resource-Based Economy
A Resource-Based Economy (RBE) is a system where goods and services are distributed based on availability of resources rather than through money or market transactions. It aims to use technology and sustainable practices to harness natural resources efficiently, ensuring that everyone's basic needs are met. In an RBE, decisions about production and distribution prioritize ecological balance and social welfare. The goal is to create a society that is less reliant on financial systems, reducing inequality and waste while promoting a sustainable quality of life for all.

A resource-based economy is one where the production and distribution of goods and services are heavily reliant on natural resources, such as minerals, timber, or oil, rather than financial markets or manufacturing processes. In this type of economy, wealth and jobs stem from extracting and using these resources. Countries or regions rich in resources can benefit significantly, but they may also face challenges, such as fluctuating commodity prices and environmental impacts. Managing these resources sustainably is crucial to ensure long-term economic health and to avoid over-reliance on a limited range of products.
