Resource-Based Economic Model
Contents |
In short...
A Resource-Based Economy (RBE) can be defined as the Scientific Method applied to human concern.
History
The term was coined by Jacque Fresco, creator of The Venus Project, based on notions that he developed inspired in his own life experiences, the works by Buckminster Fuller from the [Buckminster Fuller Institute], and many other philosophers and scientists.
Different idiosyncrasies about notions of Resource-Based Economy
There doesn't seem to be a concerted understanding or description of a Resource-Based Economy. It is the main objective of this Wiki to provide a space for such concerted description, even one that includes the various notions or understandings between or even within advocates of the general notions of a RBE.
Although, according to The Zeitgeist Movement's website, The Venus Project sought Copyright for the term "Resource-Based Economy" (and hence also its definition) in 2010<ref name="rbe-copyright"/> {{ safesubst:#ifeq:|

Given the RBE10K Project's involvement in the development of this website is quite significant as it uses it as its main resource for a knowledge-base, there may be biases in some of the understandings about a Resource-Based Economy. In order to alleviate the possibility of bias, it is very important that people from a variety of movements and projects participate actively of the compilation of relevant information about this central topic.
