The problem I have with the system that tombi123 is suggesting is that we use money to ration resources.
The problem is that there is unlimited demand and only a limited amount of resources on the planet, with the use of prices we can cap demand which is relative to a good or services' perceived value.
Even if everybody had the same amount of money, things would still be rationed because of opportunity cost (you deciding what you spend on your money on, and sacrificing the purchase of something else).
A resource-based economy is simply unsustainable.
