Blog assignment #6: Carte Blanche

I have chosen to write shortly about the ideas of one of my major idols.

What if we could stop working and earn money but still have it much better than before. Imagine a world without a monetary system.

The world have enough resources and knowledge to give all the humans in the world a home, give them food all their life and a good education. But with the economic system we use today there is no chance to give all the peoples what they have right to. Why? Because in this system profit exists, and with profit comes supply and demand, therefore we can’t create sustainability and abundance of the products. For example; diamonds exists in large quantities but the most of them destroys by diamond-companies to receive a higher profit. It’s exactly the same with the oil-companies. We have the technology to travel without using fossil fuel, but it is the oil-companies that have patent on the technology.

Jacque Fresco argues that if we remove the economic money system we use today and create a resource-based economy that will be given to everyone in the world instead of a group of selected few the world will be a much better and environment-friendly place.
