Not that I don't agree that it may be an idea that is worth exploring in an honest and serious way. However, Fresco's approach seems to suffer from a considerable lack of consistency: it's just not enough to enumerate some ideal goals, you should try to give them some plausibility. The social mechanisms by which this should happen and the driving forces for such mechanims should be considered and discussed. For instance, what would drive the progress of technology towards a world where the almost free of charge resources could be freely distributed? Moreover, after grasping the blog bottomline message, I find it even harder to imagine Fresco living in a world without money. Guru Shmuru? It sure isn’t easy to conceive a world without money.
