TEDxOjai – Jacque Fresco – Resource Based Economy

The elite have a plan to replace it – their “solution” – but the true solutions will arise from the informed public, those with tempered demeanors and careful diction. Two such solutions are discussed here – John Bush, director of Texans for Accountable Government (http://www.tagtexas.org), is in the Libertarian corner, while Douglas Mallette, coordinator for the Zeitgeist Movement Technology Team (http://www.zeitnews.org), flexes the Resource Based Economy (RBE) model – both of which manage the delicate balance of intelligence and compassion that the ideas of most world “leaders” presently lack.

Ever wanted to see a discussion between Jacque Fresco and Ludwig von Mises? We sure have, but, until that happens, we like to think of this as the next best thing. 🙂
