My name is Jacque Fresco.
I'm Project Director of The Venus Project, in Venus, Florida.
Money was a convenience designed by man many years ago.
You used to carry a bag of apples and change it for tomatoes.
That was a trade in the old days.
But when you invented money you carried smaller particles.
And it was easier to represent apples or tomatoes, or eggs,
by giving a person a coin instead of bringing fifty eggs and chickens.
Money represented a value agreed upon by people
to diminish the lugging around of heavy objects.
Later, it became the most corrupting medium in the world.
It corrupted people. They paid each other off.
If you wanted a congressman to act in your behalf, you put up a certain amount of money
that help him to get elected, and you owe that person a favor.
And that's the same with the drug companies, the auto companies, the banks.
All systems all over the world that use money
are basically corrupt.
