Summary

A self-taught futurist imagines a utopian world with no money, war, scarcity or property. Jacque Fresco considered himself beyond capitalism and communism, relying on technology, science, and resource management to create a perfect, cybernetically enhanced world. He was also pretty horny and claimed to have changed the minds of several Ku Klux Klan members about race. His ideas ended up being showcased at the United Nations.

I'm here to talk about a man with a vision as the late Jacques Fresco.

1:08.6

He was a self-educated industrial engineer who envisioned a future without what, without

1:14.2

war and even without money. A world in which there is no scarcity and no property. A world

1:20.5

in which all people are entitled to their fill of earth resources like clean air and water,

Now the sounds like an idealistic communist utopia, but Jacques Fresco rejected both communism

and capitalism claiming that they were economic systems based on scarcity. Instead he envisioned

what he called a resource based economy, which he said was based on abundance. Before Fresco

a 22 acre estate in Venus, Florida, which he used to build his model home of the future

and show off models and drawings of his ideas. Along the way, he built up a stable of

2:29.3

admirers, gave lectures all over the world and was frequently interviewed by the media.

2:34.0

Now it's really interesting to me about Jacques Fresco, is that sounds like he had the

2:37.8

potential to become a cult leader. It sounds like all of the elements are there. He offered
