Description
The Best That Money Can¿t, by Jacque Fresco, envisions a global civilization in which science and technology are applied with human and environmental concern to secure, protect and encourage a more human world for all people. This book offers a possible way out of our recurring cycles of boom and recession, famine, poverty, a declining environment and territorial conflicts where peace is merely the interval between wars. Fresco presents a blueprint for a holist socio-economic system he calls a Resource Based Economy, which uses the methods of science applied to the way we operated society offering a standard of living far beyond anything ever imagined possible in the past. It is a new vision of hope for all of the world¿s people in an age of abundance which surpasses the need to monetize anything. In Fresco¿s design of the future, machines and cybernation are used to enhance the lives of people by freeing them to engage in more creativity endeavors in the arts and sciences. Machines will be assigned the task of the production of goods and services. This does not imply a machine take over. They will not manage people; this will be considered counterproductive and socially offensive.The Best That Money Can¿t Buy outlines an attainable, humane social design of the near future where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life. The Best That Money Can¿t Buy is a challenge to all people to work toward a society in which all of the world¿s resources become the common heritage of all of the earth¿s people. It is accompanied by 70 color photos of Fresco¿s original designs, which illuminate the fulfilling lifestyle of a global, Resource Based Economy.
