Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary which presents a case for a transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter transcends the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and moves 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". Zeitgeist: Moving Forward focuses on the very fabric of the social order: Monetary-Market Economics. While the majority of the world today have slowly come to see some basic flaws in the economic system we share, as large scale debt defaults, inflation, industrial pollution, resource depletion, rising cancer rates and other signposts emerge to bring the concern into the realm of “public health” overall, very few however consider the economic paradigm as a whole as the source. The tendency is to demand reform in one area or another, avoiding considering the possibility that perhaps the entire system is intrinsically flawed at the foundational level... ZMF makes a clear case that it is, indeed, the very foundational mechanics of this system that is generating the patterns of behaviour and unsustainable methods of conduct that are leading to the vast spectrum of detrimental consequences both personal, social, and environmental, and the longer they go on, the worse things will become. -P-
