Resource-Based Economy
The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resources if we apply our technological knowledge appropriately and live in accordance with the Earth's natural replenishment rates. While necessary during the transition, we conclude our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.
Following this train of thought, the goal in a Resource-Based Economy is to eliminate scarcity wherever possible using the most efficient technologies and sustainable practices to allow for a high standard of living for all. Rather than having an economic system that encourages us to constantly consume, we aim to reduce consumption and ownership of under-utilized products.
