Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008)
Director: Peter Joseph
Writers: Peter Joseph
Stars: Jacque Fresco, Roxanne Meadows, John Perkins
Genre: Documentary
Country: United States
Language: English
Synopsis:
John Perkins spent years working as an “economic hitman,” convincing developing nations to accept massive loans they could never repay, ensuring their resources and political alignment remained under U.S. corporate control. In this documentary, he explains the mechanics of that system in detail. The film then connects international debt manipulation to the domestic monetary system, arguing that fractional reserve banking creates money from debt, concentrating wealth at the top while keeping populations dependent on wages and credit. The second half introduces Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project, a proposal to replace the current monetary system with a resource-based economy where technology, automation and scientific management of resources eliminate the need for money, property and traditional labor. Fresco argues that scarcity is artificially maintained to drive profit, and that the planet’s resources are sufficient to provide a high standard of living for everyone if managed without the distortions of market economics. Released weeks before the 2008 financial collapse, Zeitgeist: Addendum became one of the most watched independent documentaries of its decade.
Former economic hitman John Perkins reveals how international loans are used to control developing nations. Jacque Fresco proposes replacing the entire monetary system with a resource-based economy. Released weeks before the 2008 crash, this documentary questions whether the financial system can be reformed or must be replaced.
