The Zeitgeist Movement Defined is the official representative text
of the global, non-profit sustainability advocacy organization
known as The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM). This tediously sourced and
highly detailed work argues for a large-scale change in human
culture, specifically in the context of economic practice. The
dominant theme is that the current socioeconomic system governing
the world at this time has severe structural flaws, born out of
primitive economic and sociological assumptions originating in our
early history, where the inherent severity of these flaws went
largely unnoticed. However, in the early 21st century, these
problems have risen prominently, taking the consequential form of
increasing social destabilization and ongoing environmental
collapse. Yet, this text is not simply about explaining such
problems and their root causality - It is also about posing
concrete solutions, coupled with a new perspective on
social/environmental sustainability and efficiency which, in
concert with the tremendous possibility of modern technology and a
phenomenon known as ephemeralization, reveals humanity's current
capacity to create an abundant, post-scarcity reality. While
largely misunderstood as being utopian or fantasy, this text walks
through, step by step, the train of thought and technical
industrial reordering needed to update our global society (and its
values) to enable these profound new possibilities. While this text
can be read strictly from a passive perspective, it was created
also to be used as an awareness or activist tool. The Zeitgeist
Movement, which has hundreds of chapters across dozens of countries
and is perhaps the largest activist organization of its kind, hopes
those interested in this direction will join the movement in global
solidarity and assist in the culmination of this new social model,
for the benefit of the whole of humanity. Note: This text is
