Guess what I dug up from the bows of the Economic Conference archives? I know you keep telling me you've "done it all before" in just about everything I invent from scratch, but I'm starting to seriously believe you ....

My my Scott, some of this reads so much like some of my stuff. Even the idea of trading to build stuff (though that was partly Ocia's idea). The one difference was you didn't want to quantify it ....

Still, its giving me ideas ...

Haha, I saw the title of this thread and came here to post "Hey, what a coincidence, I wrote something called that once."

I still agree with about 66% of what's in that document. But I think things have seriously progressed since then. Both war-based and vote-based economies were invented after that period, and are much better than anything it has to offer.

Oh, the things about people having to sell what they'd rather give away, and buy what they don't care about really got to me.

But I have doubts the resource thing would have got very far ...
