A Resource-Based Economy is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population.

Consider the following examples: At the beginning of World War II the US had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.

In a resource-based economy all of the world's resources are held as the common heritage of all of Earth's people, thus eventually outgrowing the need for the artificial boundaries that separate people. This is the unifying imperative.

The Goal of a Resource Based Economy:

The goal or incentive for people will be to make each and everyone's lives more rich and enjoyable, comfortable, free, secured, and fun. It's for us to live in Harmony and balance with the planet without the fear, greed, corruption and control. We will also be making sure the Earth is at a total balance of health, while we care for our selves. We all must change our behavior on how to see reality not by Avoiding reality and letting it go, because it just will come back to you. It is Our Responsibility to take care of our own home our own families and our selves, this goal can be reached but not without the whole world cooperating on a massive scale, which does seem difficult but is very possible. To say there is a goal is saying there is an End point, but As in all systems, they are always in a state of evolution and change. There is no such thing as Utopia, but it is possible to create life to perfection as much as possible. We all have a part to do and life should never be about a struggle.

A resource-based or natural-resource-based economy is that of a country whose gross national product or gross domestic product to a large extent comes from natural resources.

Examples

The economies of Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar are highly dependent on exporting oil and gas.

Suriname's exports of bauxite account for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings.

Of Russian exports, more than 80% are oil, natural gas, metals and timber. Since Russia has a resource-based economy, it depends most of all on the fluctuations of oil and gas demand and prices.

Norway's export of oil and gas forms 45% of total exports and more than 20% of the GDP.
