''Resourceism is the belief or ideology that all of the Earth's resources are the common inheritance of all the world's people and should be shared equally for the benefit of all the Earth's inhabitants.''    Michael Corthell Resourceism, as an economic paradigm, envisions a society where the allocation, distribution, and utilization of resources are guided by principles starkly different from those of capitalism and socialism. In this report, we delve into the intricate workings of resource allocation and planning within a moneyless economy, shedding light on mechanisms for determining needs, prioritizing production, and avoiding resource overuse. The Essence of Resourceism Resourceism proposes a radical departure from the conventional economic systems of capitalism and socialism. It emphasizes the direct allocation of resources based on actual needs, bypassing the intermediaries of currency and market forces. This fundamental shift underpins the core pr

''A global resource-based socio-economic system is the fairest and most equitable system yet devised. this system will allow for the full expression of human and animal rights .''   Michael Corthell “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” -Albert Einstein Resourceism , as a belief or ideology, holds that the Earth's resources belong to all people and should be shared equitably for the collective well-being of humanity. This principle forms the bedrock of a resource-based socio-economic system, where existing resources are utilized to ensure fair distribution and benefit for all. In a resource-based economy, the concept of resourceism guides the allocation of goods and services, emphasizing the common inheritance and shared responsibility for Earth's abundance. By exploring the fundamental tenets of resourceism, we can gain a deeper understanding of how it relates to the vision and principles of a resource-based economy

"Plant-based diets require less land, water, and energy than animal-based diets, making them more efficient in terms of resource utilization." - Michael Corthell Resourceism is a socio-economic system that advocates for the equitable and sustainable use of resources. It believes that natural resources are the common inheritance of all humanity and should be managed for the benefit of all. Veganism , on the other hand, is a lifestyle that excludes the use of animal products for ethical, environmental, and health reasons. Although these two concepts might seem unrelated, they are actually closely linked. In this article, we explore how veganism supports Resourceism's mission of sustainable resource use. Reducing Environmental Impact Animal agriculture is a resource-intensive industry that contributes significantly to environmental degradation. It is responsible for deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, among other issues. By adopting a vegan lifest

What kind of world will our children inherit?  by Michael Corthell “The fact is, efficiency, sustainability, and abundance are enemies of profit.”  -  Zeitgeist Addendum First and foremost, it is essential to acknowledge that progressive, enlightened, and well-informed individuals are inherently aware that enslaving, exploiting, or causing harm to any sentient being is entirely unacceptable under any circumstances. Such actions represent the utmost violation of all forms of life and stand in direct opposition to the principles of a Resource-Based Economy.  Looking at it from the average vegan's point of view a resource-based economy(RBE) and its foundational belief system resourceism must be paired with and go hand in hand with veganism . I would go so far as to say that one cannot succeed without the other . Seeing this pairing from the resource-based economist's point of view takes a bit more work since the science-based approach is sometimes focused more on eff
