Check out a movie called “The Money Masters”. It’s a 3 hour + doco on why a
fractional reserve banking system run by a private central bank sucks. I’m
not saying I agree with the plan proposed in that either, I’m just saying it
seems a lot more practical than our utopian friends at The Venus Project
The other reason I thought the new Zeitgeist movie was a bit too utopian is
that I’m very much unconvinced that we live in a world of abundance. I
would hardly say we have an abundant supply of whatever that form of steel
was that they proposed to build their cities on water out of (memory steel?)

Yes. Thiis was my main problem with the movie as well. There is a good
explanation of why things are the way they are and how they could be. There
is very little info on how to get from here to there. Is this the only
reason you think it sucked badly? Do you have any suggestion, or know any
movie/media that gives information on how to go about moving things into a
transitional period? This is what my main interest of study is right now.
