that is why there is need to change this existing system.

The Venus Project proposes a Resource based economy instead of the Monetary based economy, which is fake in any case... it also proposes a system with great technological advancements which are resource based and ecologically balanced... sounds like an extremely idealistic idea... but atleast there is a way out.... for more... log on to... http://www.thevenusproject.com/... and don't miss to watch Zietgeist - The Movie & Zietgeist - Addendum. :)

if i may contradict your thought.. u cant have a resource based economy primarily because resources arent spread evenly and arent abundant enough to sustain all 6 billion people on planet.. practically a balance cant be struck between demand and supply so u need monetary economy.. buying power!

I completely beg to differ... there are abundant resources in this world and thanks to advanced technology... distribution is no problem either... the very basis of monetary based economy is "profit".... and maximization of profit is only possible with scarcity of resources.... hence, scarcity is generated in the market... and the power to layhands on resources is limited to the limited few with immense buying power....

80% of all World's wealth is with 4% of the Population.... if this disparity doesn't qualify for gross injustice.... I don't know what will.... Corprocracy... would never allow a common man to have access to the world's resources.... which is there for all of us.... as Nature had intended it to be.... it's a myth that the resources are depleting.... on the contrary.... with the technological advancements.... and if it is given a free hand....

Alternate Sources of Energy can be tapped.... but the Corporates will not allow this as the entire Industry which is based on Petroleum and it's by-products will collapse like a pack of cards.... which will only do good for the eco-system and humanity per se.... as no more lives will be lost fighting for oil... but the people in self-proclaimed seats of Authority will never let that happen....

TRAGIC!

your thoughts bypass something called as GOVERNMENT!!! try it with a sample size.. 100 people.. given a free hand and a resource based economy's structure.. they would kill other souls to gather as much as they can for themselves.. so much for free hand.. guess u need authorities and "corpocracy" to not let this happen.. and if 96% of the world's population feels satiated in 20% of the world's wealth then either money is not the prime concern or guess its high time they sort out their priorities.. noone stops them from generating wealth legally!!! on the contrary even government has knowingly left holes unplugged for the very same reason madame!!!

COMMON SENSE!

Your ignorance makes me laugh.... U are actually ok being enslaved by a bunch of people, who are out to squeeze every bit of your share of the resources for their own profits... fearing the anarchy by, what is called, the majority of deprived people.... YOUR OWN KIND!!!

And you actually think that everyone gets an equal opportunity at making money and gathering resources....???

If that is true, why are farmers committing suicide in Vidharbha?.... Do they not work hard?.... Don't they have enough brains to manage their Finances?.... Are they not good at their jobs?....

I can't believe you are so naive to think.... " if 96% of the world's population feels satiated in 20% of the world's wealth then either money is not the prime concern or guess its high time they sort out their priorities.. noone stops them from generating wealth legally!!!"

LOOK AROUND YOU.... GET OUT OF THE COCOON...

Who told you that 96% of the Population is satisfied with what they are left with!!!.... The whole problem is Human dissatisfaction.... And hence, the Maoists, The ULFA, the LTTE, Al Qaeda (which again is a myth, you'll see!!!). People are not happy with what they have.... there is unrest.... cause there is injustice.... gross injustice.... income disparity is a byproduct of the Monetary Based Economy.... and if Capitalism gives 'equal' opportunity to all.... then why is this disparity growing?....

Can you imagine building an empire without an initial Capital?.... Money pulls money, does it not?.... What would you do if you have none?.... Use the "LOOPHOLES" in the system, right?.... And push the society towards downgraded morality, corruption and crime?.... Right?.... Should that really be the way a Human Society should function?... Is that how Nature intended it to be?....

I only have two words for you... WAKE UP!!!...

And to answer your question about greed....

Think about it.... when does greed come into play.... when will I become greedy about resources?.... only when they are of some Monetary value.... If they are in abundance (which is a fact, and scarcity is a myth created by people who always want to enslave Human kind!!!), and technological advancements given encouragement without worrying about monetary gains that follow an invention.... you think anyone would be worried about hoarding the resources?.... If gold has no monetary value attached to it... would you go mad and kill people for it?..... do you do that for air???....The Land Mafia, The Water Mafia, etc, etc, have only come into play cause of the artificial scarcity that has been created for 'Monetary' benefits.... detach money and you're good to go...

Again, I am asking you to watch Zeitgeist, do your research, then try to contradict me!
