If you want some in-depth information, watch the following documentary. If you have no time for that, simply skip it.
The following is the third movie in a series of documentaries, called the Zeitgeist Documentaries. The first one isn't really relevant to this topic, the second one is a pretty relevant, but the third one is very good.
So, what is a Resource-Based Economy?
A Resource-Based Economy is, in short, a new Socio-Economic Model, which applies Science for social concern.
What this means is that all decisions are made through the Scientific Method, not through Politics.
A Resource-Based Economy has no political government and no money. It is a global system where all resources are shared among the people equally, based on the need of each region.
Let me explain that quickly.
Let's take Africa, Asia and Europe as regions for a second, in our current system.
Let's say Africa has about 5 million people (This is just an example) and 500,000 dollars. They're poor with a lot of people.
Asia, in this example, has 50 million people and 50 million dollars. Europe, 1 million people and 100 million dollars.
Now let's say they all want rice to feed their people. Each person needs a pound of rice and there's 100 million lbs of rice. Let's say every 1 lbs costs 1,50 dollars.
Anyone that can do the math, knows right now: There is enough rice for everyone. More than enough actually. However, we shouldn't forget money here. Africa doesn't have nearly enough money to feed it's people, Asia is struggling as well and Europe has loads and loads of money even after it feeds every single person. There's a lot of scenario's that can come from this. For example, Europe could buy half of all the rice, feed themselves then give Asia and Africa loans so they can buy more rice from them, economically owning Asia and Africa completely. Or they could just keep it for themselves while Africa and half of Asia starved to death.
What a Resource-Based Economy does is simply take out money from the equation in situations like this. First we see who needs what. Africa needs 5 million lbs, Asia needs 50 million lbs and Europe needs 1 millions lbs of rice. Do we have 56 million lbs of rice? Yes we do. So we can spread it accordingly and divide the remaining parts based on other factors or whatever, where the regions needed the rice the most.
Now, there are probably a lot of questions you would want to ask and it's hard to explain everything and I can't explain everything, because I'm not exactly the best spokesperson about this subject, but I'll try for anyone that wants to ask any questions.
Can we get a discussion going on this topic?
