The Bases of our Economics Are Lost

How are Resources Distributed Equitably?

Distribution of goods and services without the use of money or tokens would be accomplished through the establishment of distribution centers. Exhibition centers would display what is newly available. For a visit to Yellowstone National Park, you could check out a camera or camcorder, use it, and then return it to another distribution center or drop-off. This eliminates long term personal storage and maintenance issues.

There would also be a 3D, flat-screen imaging unit in each home where an order could be placed and the item automatically delivered – with no servitude, price tag nor debt of any kind. This includes housing, clothing, education, health care, entertainment, etc.

Raw materials would be transported directly to manufacturing facilities by automated transportation “sequences”, using ship, monorail, mag-lev train, pipeline, and pneumatic tube. An automated inventory system would integrate the distribution centers and manufacturing facilities in order to coordinate production with demand. In this way, a balanced-load economy could be maintained. Shortages, over-runs, and waste would be eliminated.

More than 75% of raw resources are wasted in the current production of material goods. In a Resource Based Economy, all waste would be recycled. The only priority would be to design using the highest quality so that products would last with little or no service. Many electronic parts would become components, for convenient repair and upgrade. Planned obsolescence would not exist.
