Revision as of 10:25, 21 March 2012

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

For example Suriname, is depending on the export of Bauxite, which accounts for more than 15% of GDP and 70% of export earnings. Russian export is for more than 80% based on oil, natural gas, metals and timber. Norway depends on the export of oil and gas, that forms 45% of total exports and constitute more than 20% of the GDP.

Alternative use

The term resource-based economy or Post scarcity is also used for an economic theory/ideology, in which things such as goods, services and information are free, or practically free. The use of the term in this context is coined by Jacque Fresco, an philosopher and futurist. He used the term since 1975 in relation to his The Venus Project, in Venus, Florida. This project and the related The Zeitgeist Movement gained much publicity through the documentaries Future By Design, and Zeitgeist Addendum,.
