Jacque Fresco, who was born in 1916 in Venus, Fla., founder of Venus Project, is one who says things extraordinarily enlightening. For example, he explains with a clarity that my ears had only ever dreamed of, because an economic system based on profit is a criminal. I try to tell my own words .
In nature there is no shortage: where you might be one fish, one hundred are born. And since we have amazing technology, it becomes clear that the land should be populated by 6 billion richer. If things go very differently because it is the scarcity of goods is artificially created, so that the goods can be turned into commodities.
Because there is no one that sells the air? Because there is too much. You can not sell a commodity that anyone can have for free. And the point is this: if the natural abundance of natural resources were used efficiently by using the technologies available to us, humanity would be to have such a quantity of goods that would not be possible to sell anything, for the same why you can not sell the air.
Nothing would be more goods, all could have it all. Free. Working hour per day. Jacque Fresco is what defines''resource-based economy'',''resource-based economy,''contrasting the economy based on profit. I certainly worked all his life twelve hours a day to get some cubic meter of air around a bit 'of bricks arranged in the form of home!
We are being as bad as those who own the means of production and resources is trapped in the logic of profit, which is a logic very little logic. While we live in a system based on profit, we will never see the technology reach its maximum efficiency by ensuring plenty for everyone, because this would contradict the very nature of the system. Consequently, until we live in a system based on profit, we will never have a world without poverty and without wars.
PS
live in a country culturally, as a university would be asked Jacque Fresco was interviewed, there would be debates, critical reactions, controversy. In Italy, however, nothing, only the silence of the dead. Not because his book was published in Italian! On hand we have only his site and some videos on Youtube, this type .
