Change Economic System

To have Control Over Resources & Social Systems to gain Power we

created PROFIT.

“No man can profit except by the loss of others and by this reasoning all manner of profit must be condemned.”

Quote by --Michel Dey Montaigne 15th century French Philosopher & Essayist

When Profit comes through an exchange of a resource while one party befitting out of other's loss. 

1. If the number of people fall in debt increases, IT IS PROFITABLE FOR BANKS.

2. If the number of patients increases, IT IS PROFITABLE FOR MEDICAL COMPANIES AND DOCTORS.

4. If there are competing students, IT'S PROFITABLE FOR A TUTOR.

5. If hundreds of people die every day, THE COFFIN MAKERS WILL BE HAPPY. 

Our economic system is based on Competition for Survival.

Goods such as foods are sometimes destroyed to keep prices up; when things are scarce prices increase.

There is tremendous corruption, greed, crime,

embezzlement, and more caused by the need for money.

Profit motive and its disadvantages

Competition in long run is not Sustainable

PROFIT MOTIVE has become the very DNA of our human civilization and our entire society runs on this DNA of FEAR!

Peter Joseph Founder of The Zeitgeist Movement

Today TZM is functional in many countries including India

and the movement is spreading the message of Resource Based Economy,

Sustainable way of living.

How can we do the transition from here to

Resource Based Economy?

Spreading Awareness  Today, The Zeitgeist Movement which is an explicitly non-violent, global sustainability advocacy group is currently working in over 1000 Regional Chapters across 70 countries spreading awareness on these issues. You can join them.  In the view of The Movement, the society today has become increasingly detached from the physical world, with techniques of production, distribution and social ordering that have little to no relationship to the environment, or the current state of scientific knowledge with respect to public health and sustainability.
