Damn you people for always being two steps ahead of me.

To judge how likely it is that the people behind this project are creating a better society -- functioning without money -- just look at their shop page (http://www.thevenusproject.com/shop/).

Hard to critisize the thing when the text actually gives no info on how it would even work..

Is the guy proposing the return of the good old squirrel skin trading? Or what?

While I critiqued it in the other thread I find this deliciously telling (thanks Earthborn):

The Best that Money Can't Buy (Book)
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.
PRICE: $24.95
:rolleyes:

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.
Translation: Whoever wrote this has yet to attempt to undertake a political endeavour outside of a class room.

In short, bollocks.
