If you can get over the fact that Jacque Fresco resembles a gnome straight out of Ever Quest, you’ll probably find, as I did, that his thoughts and theories are rather interesting. He’s the creator of the Venus Project, an organization that promotes a sort of Utopian version of the future as seen by Jacque Fresco. In this interview he discusses everything from from the failing of capitalism, to his desire to move towards what he calls a resource based economy.
I don’t find anything he says to be particularly absurd, and most of his explanations and possible solutions to current problems are quite reasonable. Having said that, I think it unlikely that society will choose to move away from a system of money any time soon.
