resourcesbased

Resourcesbased refers to a theoretical economic and social system where all goods and services are available without the use of money, tokens, or barter. Instead, access to resources and products is determined by their availability and the needs of individuals and society. This concept envisions a world where production is organized around meeting human needs directly, rather than being driven by profit motives.

In a resourcesbased economy, technology and scientific management would play a crucial role in optimizing the distribution and utilization of Earth's finite resources. Automation and advanced production techniques would be employed to ensure a high standard of living for everyone. Decision-making regarding resource allocation and production would ideally be based on scientific data and expert analysis, aiming for sustainability and efficiency.

The core idea is to move beyond scarcity, which is often artificially created or exacerbated by monetary systems. By eliminating the concept of money, proponents argue that many social problems such as poverty, crime, and war, which are often linked to economic inequality and competition for resources, could be significantly reduced or eliminated. The focus shifts from individual accumulation of wealth to collective well-being and the intelligent management of planetary resources.

Critics often raise concerns about the practicality of implementing such a system, including how to manage complex distribution logistics, address individual preferences and desires beyond basic needs, and the potential for centralized control or inefficiencies in planning. The transition from current economic models to a resourcesbased system is also seen as a significant challenge, requiring a fundamental shift in human values and societal organization.
