The Venus Project, which constitutes the
life long work of social engineer and structural designer Jacque Fresco, is an organization that wants
nothing less than a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It seeks to update society to present
day knowledge and modern methods. Its tenets are essentially based on the application of Science
and Technology for human and social concern. The social structure it advocates is called a Resource-
Based Economy.
A Resource-Based Economy utilizes existing resources rather than commerce. All goods and services
are available without the use of currency, credit, barter or any form of debt or servitude.
The aim of this new social design is to free humanity from the repetitive, mundane and arbitrary
occupational roles which hold no true relevance for social development, while encouraging a new
incentive system that is focused on self-fulfillment, education, social awareness and creativity, as
opposed to the shallow and self-centered goals of wealth, property and power which are dominant
today. The Venus Project recognizes that the earth is abundant with resources , and that our outdated
methods of rationing resources through monetary control are no longer relevant. In fact, they are
very counterproductive to our survival. The monetary system was created thousands of years ago
during periods of great scarcity. Its initial purpose was contrived as a method of distributing goods
and services based on labor contributions. It is not at all related to our true capacity to produce goods
and services on this planet.
We want to utilize Scientific Methods for arriving at more appropriate decisions.
In the end, the only real issues for society in the natural world are (1) the production of goods and
services that are equally available to all, (2) research projects and educational systems to expand our
knowledge, understandings and applications, and (3) the constant monitoring of the earth’s resources
