There are many people, organisations, projects and movements that develop or advocated a Resource-Based Economic Model (RBEM), or they provide useful information, technologies, software or other resources for an RBEM. As the elements of the network influence many aspects of RBEM, they will be part of many pages of this Wiki. This page serves as an overview.
