In a world where 1% of the population owns 40% of the planet's wealth… in a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, and where 50% of the world's population lives on less than 2 dollars a day… one thing is clear: Something is very wrong.There are many out there who would say that what we are describing here, that is the development of a Resource-Based Global Economy, would never happen. They would typically cite “human nature”, the “power elite” or erroneous technical opinions in their defense. This cynicism has no support in view of humanity’s technical and social development throughout history. We have come from a world of extreme superstition, abject slavery and extreme racism and social prejudice, to a slowly emerging world of race equality, scientific ingenuity and emerging values that desire to see humanity benefit as a whole.The Zeitgeist Movement The Venus Project
