So...did the Emerald city with it's huge poppy fields have a resource based economy?

 

Qatar has a resource based economy - taking the words at face value anyway.

The resource is oil, and it's their whole economy. In 2010 they had the highest GDP per capita in the world.

What's the point exactly? I don't get it. Them's that has the resource wins?

Or - are we supposed to take the resources away from them, on the basis that we needs the precious?

 

No its not a resource based economy because they still using money to put a "value" to their abundant resource. We are not going to take anything by force. RBE is not a dictatorship. It just promotes education, common sense and scientific proof which is sharing resources actually solves everyone's problems instead of keeping them.

 

Are people here saying if we have a resource based economy then we don't need currency or the banking industry?

Yes. Because money is just an invention to make the trading of goods easier instead of bringing a bag of apples to trade with a bag of oranges, a coin will do. It was good 100 years ago and became the most corrupt medium in the world but with the invention of science and the scientific method, this method has become obsolete.

Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks angry, give it some love!
