The full-length sequel to Zeitgeist: The Movie was released this October 3rd. I preferred it to the orignal. It's well worth watching!
Zeitgeist: Addendum (123min.)
This sequel focuses on economic corruption (built-in to the monetary system), globalization and the so-called economic hitmen. The second half of the film focuses on solutions like a resource-based economy and designing a new world with the help of technology (not stumping its development). The current economic rule of scarcity rather than abundace, and the dynamic nature of life and mind.
Speakers in the film: J. Krishnamurti, John Perkins (author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman), Jacque Fresco (Future by Design & The Venus Project)
From The Venus Project's website: 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.
