| − | + | There is no consent yet about how to implement the ideas of a [[Resource-Based Economic Model]]. Generally, there are two approaches: [[Bottom-Up Implementation of a Resource-Based Economy|bottom-up]] and [[Top-Down Implementation of a Resource-Based Economy|top-down]]. For the two general approaches there exist many potential variations, for example [[RBEM/Strategies for integration with the monetary market]]. | |

| + | Oskar Gonzalez<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Bkz-qDOOg</ref> makes the case that the monetary system is just an emergant property. He makes the analogy of a baseball game. That the baseball game only exists for as long as the players want to play. If the players all get hungry and go off and have lunch. The baseball game no longer exists. He uses this analogy to demonstrate how in the same way, the monetary system only exists if there are enough players who want to play the game. | ||

| + | He also makes the argument that we already have a resource based economy with our friends and family. The problem is simply that on the global scale when we interact with strangers we operate under the monetary based economy<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCVMmhoWwrM</ref>. | ||

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{{Cn}}. Of course also hybrid approaches are conceivable. |

RBE Training Arenas (RBE-TAs) may be an option for enabling currently established communities to begin a gradual transformation into an RBE. With RBE-TAs developing all over a web of support for experimental settlements, settlements could be like graduate school. | RBE Training Arenas (RBE-TAs) may be an option for enabling currently established communities to begin a gradual transformation into an RBE.
