The term and meaning of a Resource Based Economy was originated by Jacque Fresco. It is a holistic socio-economic 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.

This article is about countries whose income comes mainly from natural resources. For use of the term as an economic theory, see The Venus Project.

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

For example:

  • 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.
  • Norway's export of oil and gas forms 45% of total exports and more than 20% of the GDP.
  • Australia developed aspects of a resource-based economy in the later twentieth century, while retaining a foundation in agricultural exports, and latterly minerals.
