In our view, The Venus Project is unlike
any political, economic or social system
that’s gone before it. It lays out a
sustainable world civilization where
technology and the methods of science
are applied to redesigning our social
system with the prime concern being to
maximize quality of life rather than profit.
All aspects of society are scrutinized –
from our values, education, and urban
design to how we relate to nature and to
one another.
