the venus project is a great idea. i followed up on it after the interview with jacques fresco in the brand-new [please pm for title], which i suggest you all go watch, as it is much more accessible/positive/topical than the first one. i really like the idea of a resource-based economy, and am looking forward to checking out his book, the best that money can't buy. i think with the financial instability we're seeing, people will be willing to try out complementary community currencies with demurrage (negative interest) and we'll be seeing a lot of success with that.

article on an austrian town during the great depression struck with 33% unemployment using a cc with demurrage to finish tons of city social projects and have 100% employment until shut down by the central bank

that movie you were talking about is exactly where i got it from. i don't fully understand what he means by an economy based on resources and not money. i mean, how exactly do you do that?
