Entrancing lecture at the Venus Project Research Center by the illustrious social & industrial engineer, Jacque Fresco. Fresco’s life’s work has been devoted to reconstructing society along more equitable and ecologically sustainable trajectories. In order to start us on a saner path, he proposes the elimination of social pathologies such as war and even the use of monetary systems so that we may create a global resource-based economy wherein advanced technological systems map and distribute the world’s resources without barter, debt, or servitude. His innovative ideas come close to what myriad utopian thinkers have dreamed of for centuries.
