The Venus Project

Some time ago, I featured the Facebook group of one South African who will attempt to live without money for five years. Today's Facebook group is for anyone who embraces the ideas of Jacque Fresco, who advocates a society that rejects the concept of money as a measurement of worth, focusing instead on the abundance of true resources. Threads on the discussion board include 'Problems, Implications, & Solutions', 'Could we all just move to a island and start the venus project?', 'sport & Venus Project', 'Will religion be banned?', 'Population Reduction', 'Errors with this project that lead to it failing' and, of course 'money'. There are also links to other resources. Even if you cannot imagine a world without money, the concept is still worth exploring.

What's great about this group: It makes you think.

Update (18 April 2024)

It's fourteen years later and we need something like the Venus Project more than ever. There are numerous regional groups for the Venus project, as well as one international group which is private. There are two small and mostly inactive groups that could possibly be the original group. They can be found here and here.
