Resource based economy with profit removed from the equation.

I'd like to see this happen. Anyone know of anything in the works that might make this possible?

While ideologically this sounds great, there is little incentive to participate in said economy. Profit drives EVERYTHING in this world, especially under corporate models. This scenario could be possible in an economy that includes a basic income.

Not really... I mean, case and point is the project/experiment of Bitcoin. It's an open sourced project where the community and devs participate in the code base/market/economy and created in a completely altruistic type of way. I think people will still do things and participate and provide goods and services that they enjoy doing which is a good thing. Why have jobs out there available for people to slave away at a cash register at McDonalds when there is no need and computers can act as the cash register? The fact is humans are becoming unemployable due to computers and autmoation making things easier... so why keep an economy intact where things absolutely needed to be done by humans?
