Thanks for the warm feedback. I don't know about the first four things you listed but The Venus Project and Zeigeist Movements have the same problem as fractional reserve central banking: the socialist problem of calculation. To abolish money would require totalitarianism. To abolish money would also be to condemn most of the world to death. Without naturally arising market prices, there's no way to express consumer demand in terms of finite supply. Without a way to express demand in terms of supply, resources get wasted, then people starve.

There's no such thing as abundance and there never will be.

However, scarcity can be mitigated and needs can be met simply by getting people who would intervene and interfere with market exchange by force out of the way.

These projects are perhaps well intentioned but have no way of overcoming the socialist problem of economic calculation.

Thanks again for the feedback!
