Back in the 60s in the special report of the subcommittee of the US Congress on automation means that in the important production involved only 10% of the population. The rest - bloated "service sector" and "management".
Cash ratio, when there is an opportunity to create abundance for all - destroying potential of humanity, taking people's mindless work "but would not rebelled" and wasting irreplaceable resources for planned obsolescence.
Any paradigm has its limits of applicability.
Cash ratio really help ramp up production in the conditions of deficit and low productivity, especially when you do not question what to produce and scale of human activities are so small that a global impact on the environment is not provided.
However, when the society is able to create abundance, productivity and population increases so that the impact on the environment is already significantly - money relations are simply disastrous and lead a civilization to self-destruction. Cash relations have mechanisms for determining the importance and priority of various facilities for the long-term survival, prosperity, and realize the creative potential of civilization. As a rule, people who have dedicated their lives seize control of financial flows and are experts in the management of public opinion, too busy these and illiteracy in other areas - the natural sciences, ecology, astrophysics, animal psychology, behavioral sciences, systems analysis, and therefore lack the necessary ideological base to determine the value of an undertaking, thus controlling the distribution of resources on a global scale.
Only horizontal worldwide network of interdisciplinary research teams with the appropriate communication interface is able to solve such problems. After all, to determine the value of something - you need to make it something to compare, we need a very broad general worldview and natural horizons.
But now the system is constructed so that is really productive scientists and engineers are busy working so much that almost do not have time to participate in public life, while the ignorant fools and demagogues who seized financial flows make global decisions about the priorities of civilization, control large infopotki , resource allocation, etc., and a large part of the population, remain without work quietly exterminated, while the really competent and able-bodied work for wear and the world he is not nice.
As a result, we have what we have produce sneakers, Coca-Cola, tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics, cars, machine guns, tanks and nuclear warheads, etc. When people in Africa, millions are dying of hunger, causing irreparable damage to natural resources and fragile ecosystems are destroyed, reducing the carrying capacity of the planet, increasing the greenhouse effect, leading to disaster on a planetary scale, though not for our children, but a few generations - exactly. In this neglected space research, and many people in power are so ignorant that they are unable to understand that terraforming and colonization of other planets - not a luxury and whim, and the only possible way of long-term survival of civilization.
When really we need - solar, desalination channels hydroponic units, microcontrollers and industrial robots, floating cities with sustainable sea farming and fields of wind turbines, which create conditions for the growth of coral reefs and do not block the path of the trawl astroengineering for rocket-free launches of spacecraft equipped research laboratories, etc.
Therefore, Jacque Fresco and developed a resource-based economy and cybernated other necessary for its operation concept of The Venus Project.
Recall that the transition to ROE - just one of the 18 points of the Millennium Project Venus
