What is it that we all have in common regardless of gender, nationality, color, creed, caste or social status?

We all have needs.
![Page 5: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Our NEEDS
![Page 6: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And when we have needs, it points to….???
![Page 7: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SURVIVAL!SURVIVAL!
![Page 8: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If we look closely, we human beings have two aspects to our survival challenge or to say two types of needs.
![Page 9: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Physical Survival The Body
![Page 10: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Psychological SurvivalThe Identify of Self
(Self-Importance)
![Page 11: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
So survival is focal point of our life.
![Page 12: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When SURVIVAL is at STAKE
![Page 13: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now, when survival is central to our life, what we would do if this survival is at stake?
![Page 14: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
If a pack of hungry wolves is chasing you…
If you are going bankrupt…
If your family is dying…
Few examples of threat on survival
![Page 15: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What would one do?
Obviously, try to take control of the situation!
Isn’t?
![Page 16: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So YouTRY toTakeCONTROL!
![Page 17: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SURVIVAL CALLS FOR CONTROL!
![Page 18: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So for survival what is that we need most?
Food, Oxygen, Water, Growth, Love, Peace, Money etc?
Whatever our physical need might be; we need money to fulfill it.
![Page 19: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Money can buy our needs, it keep our survival safe!
![Page 20: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When money can buy our needs, it helps keep our survival safe!
![Page 21: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MONEY = CONTROL = SECURITY
![Page 22: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This is what we understand and apply in our life. This is our unwritten formula for survival!
Earning money becomes sustainable for a person only when there is……

PROFIT
![Page 24: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PROFIT
PROFIT means gain - benefit – advantage
![Page 25: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Profit means
Profit = the margin between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating,
or producing something.
![Page 26: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Profit Counter Productive to Human Survival at long run
Let us see what PROFIT really means in our society and How PROFIT is counter
productive to Sustainability.
![Page 27: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We Human Beings adopt our methods of living from nature, be it
relationships, work, creativity or any other aspect of life…
![Page 28: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Man Imitates Nature
![Page 29: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
So, when it comes to PROFIT we assume that we must have adopted it somewhere from
NATURE itself.
![Page 30: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
However, MAN has disconnected from NATURE in its course of growth & intellectual
evolution…
![Page 31: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So called intellectual Evolution
![Page 32: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And that is why the methods we adopted from nature are also NO more perfect and in synergy with NATURE.
![Page 33: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So, if we want to understand the imperfection and consequent dangers of PROFIT we must
understand PROFIT in NATURE
![Page 34: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Profit In Nature
![Page 35: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In Nature the PROFIT exists without disparity and imbalance.
It is an exchange based on needs and not other motives and thus PROFIT in nature is
equalized making it Sustainable.
![Page 36: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It is an exchange based on needs and not other It is an exchange based on needs and not other motives and thus PROFIT in nature is equalized motives and thus PROFIT in nature is equalized making it Sustainable and it does not exist on making it Sustainable and it does not exist on
loss of others.loss of others.
![Page 37: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Let’s see some examples…• In nature lion is profiting out of killing a deer but its
profiting on deer is not based on greed or insecurity of future or its need for self-importance as in humans. The Lion only kills when hungry and only eats as much is required for it to survive.
• A lion and deer require each other and are interdependent.
• If deer population exceeds they will over eat the grass and plants and thus the whole species will starve and become extinct but the lion keeps deer population in control thus making deer, lion and green population sustainable.
![Page 38: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What made Profit Dangerous for us What made Profit Dangerous for us then?then?
![Page 39: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Why and how Profit became dangerous, and where do we stand today?
• What can be done to make our society a sustainable model in harmony with ecology?
![Page 40: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If observed carefully our perils started after
![Page 41: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

We have destroyed The ecology in less than a century
![Page 43: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Science & Technology is not in support with ecology and our way of profiting and so called growth is counter productive to the self-interest of all humans at a long run.
![Page 44: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
If we don’t change our society, If we don’t change our society, we will destroy ourselves & we will destroy ourselves &
other life forms.other life forms.
![Page 45: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
If this system continues without any reform, it will take humanity to the road of extinction while destroying other forms of life.
We keep shouting: "Save the earth, save the earth!"
Well, it did not give damn to anyone yet.
Save yourselves, people or it will shake you off from the space ride in a blow!!!
![Page 46: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
When profiting is priority; ecology is ignored
![Page 47: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Profiting & Disparity Exist Together
![Page 48: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What is the way out?
Elimination of an economic model which perpetuates disparity in distribution through manipulation of complex monetary game focusing on short term profiting goals and good life for few while offering struggle and low quality of life for many ignoring long term benefits of the entire human race.
![Page 49: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
We need to create a better model for our society which is not based on profit motive; cares for universal abundance and sustainability.
![Page 50: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We need to create a model of production and distribution which can run without unfair monetary system creating disparity.
![Page 51: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
We need to adopt positive science in harmony with ecology & nature.
![Page 52: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Change Economic System for betterment of humans and
ecology
![Page 53: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Now change in our PROFIT based ECONOMIC System is necessary for Sustainability of our Eco-System
• If, reforms have to be done…We need to first understand the Game of PROFIT very well.
![Page 54: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

SURVIVAL CALLS FOR CONTROL…and to control we need to profitMore Profit means More Control
![Page 56: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
To have Control Over Resources & Social Systems to gain Power we created a system where one can
PROFIT.
![Page 57: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• To control resources we require power And POWER comes only when you can PROFIT from the others.
• Thus this need for power gives rise to profit motive by all means; profit in resources and profit in relationships as well.
• And this PROFIT is again one sided creating benefit for one and loss for other.
• The balance in exchange is lost and exploitation becomes the byproduct. The richer becomes richer and the poor poorer.
![Page 58: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
“No man can profit except by the loss of others and by this reasoning all manner of profit must be condemned.”
Quote by --Michel Dey Montaigne 15th century French Philosopher & Essayist
![Page 59: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
When Profit comes through an exchange of a resource while one party befitting out of other's loss.
1. If the number of people fall in debt increases, IT IS PROFITABLE FOR BANKS.
2. If the number of patients increases, IT IS PROFITABLE FOR MEDICAL COMPANIES AND DOCTORS.
4. If there are competing students, IT'S PROFITABLE FOR A TUTOR.
5. If hundreds of people die every day, THE COFFIN MAKERS WILL BE HAPPY.

Our economic system is based on Competition for Survival.
![Page 61: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Competition – The Method for Profiting
• We have to use the method of competition for having more profit. Thus this competition breeds many ill things in our society.
• COMPETITION IN LONG RUN IS NOT SUSTAINABLE!
One must read the book: “No Contest” The Case Against Competition by Alfie Kohn to understand this, you may also find his talk on Youtube.
![Page 62: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
![Page 63: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Goods such as foods are sometimes destroyed to keep prices up; when things are scarce prices increase.
![Page 64: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Competition is based on FEARAnd FEAR initiates the SURVIVAL Game we saw before…
And where Competition enters, ISOLATION and MANIPULATION also start playing.
![Page 65: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
We forget human ways of dealing with people and take ruthless ways to win this competition.
![Page 66: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Competition in long run is not sustainable for humanity when we already have enough
for all.
![Page 67: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Thus the System of PROFIT being based on COMPETITION is also operated through manipulation of people and things and brings isolation in human relationship.
There is tremendous corruption, greed, crime, embezzlement, and more caused by the need for money.
![Page 68: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Profit Motive and Its Disadvantages
The impact of profit motive on society is that it feeds the fear based survival instinct in individuals and in turn they replicate the entire process of profit motive and thus it is multiplied in social structure.
![Page 69: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
PROFIT MOTIVE has become the very DNA of our human civilization and our entire society runs on this DNA of FEAR!
![Page 70: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
We are conditioned to think that..
“To survive, I have to sell.” “To survive, I have to profit.” Sell whatever possible; services or products.....
And how does this system of profit work in our society?
![Page 71: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Through MONEY
![Page 72: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The profit motive is sustained easily by our economic model based on exchange of
resources through money.
![Page 73: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)

Drawbacks of Monetary System
• Power gets easily centralized through money.
• Money can be preserved against resources and hence can be gathered thus making one single individual powerful who can exploit others.
• Money losses its buying capacity every year thus you require to earn more and more while living under survival threat.
• Resource are controlled and distributed through money and hence only people with buying power have benefits of quality products and services

• Lack of ability to compete and perform ends up with less money or poverty.
• Disparity is perpetuated through monetary system.
• If you know monetary manipulation; you can become rich without any social contribution
• Social malpractices like prostitution, human trafficking, dowry thrives on this monetary system
• People can be cheated for money
• 95% of crimes in our society are related to money or private property.

The Money & Private Property
• The other problem of our society is ability to own things as private property.
• Private property breeds self-importance, gives a person power and access to control more. Thus having a private property becomes necessity for us.
• Money is also hoarded to control more resources as private property.
• Thus the goal of profiting is to hold such private wealth.

To understand the flaws of monetary system, we suggest watching movies and reading books giving detailed explanation of how the monetary system works to employ isolation, manipulation and control in our life and how it has now become a huge problem and what is the possible solution.

DISPARITY“Food, Shelter, Education, Health care are our essential elements of survival and thus they should be our fundamental rights and thus should be available to each individual without any disparity and profit motive However, it is not so today…….”
![Page 86: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Today all the essential elements are given to people according to their buying capacity and not according to their needs.

The examples for this can be seen everywhere
A sportsman starves without proper diet & support while a rich brat splurges on his whims & fancies A doctor is paid high salary while a scientist struggles to sustain his family.
A retail chain opens hundreds of outlets while hundreds of farmers commit suicide in debt.

• The basic goods and services of necessity are given for a price and the quality is determined by the size of the payment.
• In reality food, shelter, health care, these which are our fundamental needs should be our first fundamental rights followed by the freedom of speech, freedom of religion etc but that is not the case today as well.

Income inequality in monetary system
"An average medical doctor makes about - $150,000 a year , and the biological research scientists, which are looking for cures and treatments for diseases which makes only about $68,000 a year.You get the point. Income inequality is here. "

Most laws are enacted for the benefit of corporations, which have enough money to lobby, bribe, or persuade government officials to make laws that serve their interests.

Most important, when the corporation's bottom line is profit, decisions in all areas are made not for the benefit of people and the environment, but primarily for the acquisition of wealth, property, and power.

Now let’s see
“Profit Motive in all the cultures and isms”.
• We grew from hunter gatherer’s groups to tribal farming communities to monarchism, communism, socialism, capitalism and so on…
• The profit motive has always corrupted people and culture in all the ages but today it has reached its heights in society and has degraded the whole society while we have become vulnerable to many problems and dangers in coming short future.
• We have tried every way of living and every social structure…however we have failed to see the flaws in our system and failed to adopt a seamless and synchronized structure like Nature.
And that is why we as humanity are at the dead end of our search for survival today.

There is tremendous waste of material and strain on available resources from superficial design changes for newer later fads each year in order to create continuous markets for
manufacturers.

We failed to create a holistic sustainable social model because Profit motive was
always there in all the structures inherently.
![Page 101: Sustainability vs profit motive picture ppt talk & pics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061204/546fef54b4af9fa30a8b45b4/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
• If we look at nature, it seems interdependent and not profiting on each other but surviving on each other.
• But the human society survives on profit motive and survives by exploiting each other knowingly or unknowingly through this monetary system.
• And thus, as long as profit motive is necessary to survive, we will use such highly exploitative monetary system and the problems will not only exist in our society but will increase, and for this reason we will not be able to create a truly sustainable way of living.

OBSERVATION
Monetary system is inherently flawed and it is vulnerable towards power getting centralized in few men’s or one man’s hand and thus the powerful continues exploitation, corruption and crime for further profit by shaking hands with law, politics and media. This is indeed profitable for all who are top in the system.

• Can we create a truly sustainable society?

At the moment our society is a competitive society which can be transformed into cooperative society by right education and a change in perspective leading to a change in our choice & actions.

A SYSTEM WHERE MONEY IS NOT USED AND RESOURCES ARE DISTRIBUTED RATHER THAN EXCHANGED THROUGH MONEY!

A holistic socio-economic system
It is a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude.
All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few.

Benefits of Technology
Today we are technologically advance to produce enough for everyone but due to monetary system the resources do not reach to everyone in proper quantity and technology is misused.
Resource Based Economy eliminates this basic problem in fulfilling our needs and thus it ends the reason for PROFIT MOTIVE to exist.

Mr. Jacque Fresco proposes a solution of building automated cities for everyone on Earth.
He also sees a possibility where only 3% of population will require to work for maintaining the cities and humans can be set free from monetary slavery. H
