a monetary system is obsolete, we need a resource based system (no money included) sounds like socialism but it is totally noy

[Michael Dekle]

I have read most of the books put forth by Fresco as well as Joseph, including the documentaries featuring the Resource-Based Economy. I have a strong understanding of what the RBE is and how it would operate. My only problem with it is that it is so foreign to the traditional economic train of thought that it will be difficult for society at large to implement it. I see Lietear's suggestions as a valid way to attain the goal of "sustainable abundance" in the interim.

Tx for the response eventhough it's a bit late.

And yes I know about the Venus Project and Zeitgeist. I agree with their vision, it's the way to go for the future. I have learned that almost all problems in the world and life are because of money and profit. All money is blood money. You can't build a good ethic society on a bad idea. Bank controled currency is such a bad idea.

[Katherine Phillips]

I know you wrote this comment months ago but have you heard of The Venus Project?? I suggest googling it. Its pretty sensible and easy to understand.

Profit at any price vs. people before profit.

Have you read Lietaer's The Future of Money? Im currently reading it now, I think you would love this book because he covers complementary currencies extensively. I'm working on the segment of the book where he goes over a global reference currency that could be used by those who wish to use it with a sustainability fee(i.e. demurrage charge). Good stuff.
