Jacque Fresco

Jacque is a cool character became very popular among activists around the world. It 'a high-level scientist who has worked with NASA, and that recently he was involved in "social engineering" or how to build a global society where happiness is widespread. The peculiarity of Fresco is that unlike the "guru" who preach a move away from technology to return to a life more simple and 'happy, but he believes that both science and deprived of its distorted trade component, to be able to conduct a happy society. Fresco says that today, with current technology, we could nearly eliminate the labor and slavery related to it, leaving that man can devote to develop its creative component, artistic and spiritual. A crazy visionary? Judging by his resume, Fresco certainly does not seem stupid, but some doubt about its theories remains. E 'convinced that the political right or left, is unable to improve as the company itself is a victim of the monetary system on which it depends and which does not even know in depth the mechanisms. Should be eliminated by the monetary system (stock exchange, money etc ...) and move on to what he calls an RBE, Resource Based Economy.

There are still some criticism even within the alternative world. Some accuse him of being in reality sponsored by big corporations that would benefit the electronics to spread this faith among the population in Hi-Tech. On YouTube you can find two documentaries that illustrate his thinking: Zeitgeist Addendum and Future by Design. With a little 'patience are also versions in Italian with subtitles.

The following is an excerpt of his thought.

Mark Pelizza.

"We must commit ourselves to the creation of a global economy based on resources (RBE, Resource Based Economy), in which the planet's resources are the common heritage of all its inhabitants. The current practice rationing resources through monetary methods are counterproductive, and not at all appropriate to the needs of humanity. To put it simply, an economy based on resource use existing resources - instead of money - to ensure an equal distribution method, in the most humane and efficient as possible. It is a system in which all goods and services are available to anyone, without the use of money, credit, exchange, or any other form of debt or servitude. To better understand the resource-based economy, consider the following proposition: If all the money in the world were to disappear tomorrow, as long as the stand, companies, personnel and other resources remain intact, we can produce all that we need to meet our needs. People do not need money, rather than free access to most needs, without having to worry about having financial stability, or having to deal with government bureaucracy. In the resource-based economy, based on abundance, money becomes irrelevant.

We are at a point where science and technology can provide abundance for all people in the world. Nor is it acceptable to continue the intentional blocking efficiency through planned obsolescence, perpetuated by the old methods dictated by the logic of profit. If we are really interested in the environment and people, if we really put an end to territorial disputes, war, poverty and hunger in the world, we must reconsider the social processes that led us to a world where these things are common. Like it or not, are the social progress - political practices, beliefs, economy based on profit, our rules of conduct tours of the culture - that have led to famine, war, disease and damage to 'environment.

The objective of this new social project (social design) is to promote a system of incentives is no longer directed to selfish ends of wealth, property and power. These new incentives will encourage people to reach their potential and creativity, both materially and spiritually. "
