Jacque Fresco (March 13, 1916 – May 18, 2017) was an American futurist[1] and self-described social engineer.[2] Self-taught, he worked in a variety of positions related to industrial design.
Fresco wrote and lectured his views on sustainable cities, energy efficiency, natural-resource management, cybernetic technology, automation, and the role of science in society. He directed the Venus Project[5] and advocated global implementation of a socioeconomic system which he referred to as a "resource-based economy".[6][7]
