A presentation of a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical 'life ground' attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a 'Resource-Based Economy'.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the third Zeitgeist film and the only one to drop the 9/11 truther stuff, which arguably made it more palatable to mainstream leftists while losing the original's viral edge.
The 'Resource-Based Economy' concept comes largely from Jacque Fresco's Venus Project, which the film treats with near-reverential enthusiasm despite Fresco having no formal credentials in economics or urban planning.
