My name is Jacque Fresco.

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,000
I'm Project Director of The Venus Project, in Venus, Florida.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,900
Money was a convenience designed by man many years ago.

4
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:29,800
You used to carry a bag of apples and change it for tomatoes.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,300
That was a trade in the old days.

6
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,000
But when you invented money you carried smaller particles.

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,400
And it was easier to represent apples or tomatoes, or eggs,

8
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:47,700
by giving a person a coin instead of bringing fifty eggs and chickens.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,300
Money represented a value agreed upon by people

10
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:57,700
to diminish the lugging around of heavy objects.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,700
Later, it became the most corrupting medium in the world.

12
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,500
It corrupted people. They paid each other off.

13
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:11,600
If you wanted a congressman to act in your behalf, you put up a certain amount of money

14
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,700
that help him to get elected, and you owe that person a favor.

15
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:20,500
And that's the same with the drug companies, the auto companies, the banks.

16
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000
All systems all over the world that use money

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
are basically corrupt.
