"A Resource-Based Economy is a system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival."

 

Just out of curiosity, in this system, how would anything get done, and who would do it?

What's the motivation to work?

 

The majority of work is done by robots. Money isn't the only motivator. (Proper) Scientists don't work for the money, its finding out the unknown that motivates them.

 

Even if the Scientist doesn't work for money, the tools he uses only exist because someone does.

A computer today allows us to calculate things that would take a thousand years without one. Without capitalism, those computers would not exist.

 

As for the robot thing...

you must be talking about a futuristic world with technology we have yet to discover. That technology would only be discovered in a Capitalistic society. (or at a minimum, orders of magnitude sooner)
