RBEM/Implementation
There is no consent yet about how to implement the ideas of a Resource-Based Economic Model. Generally, there are two approaches: bottom-up and top-down. For the two general approaches there exist many potential variations, for example different degrees of openness of RBEM projects to interactions with the monetary system.
Advocates of bottom-up approaches argue for starting with RBEM implementation projects soon, for incrementally developing the implemented methods and for incrementally increasing the participation, either on a individual basis or by including more and more people[citation needed]. Advocates of top-down approaches rather think that people could be distracted from the general RBEM ideas because of problems that arise from specific RBEM implementation projects. They support educating as many people as possible and planning as many details as possible, before starting to implement a Resource-Based Economy[citation needed]. Of course also hybrid approaches are conceivable.
