The Zeitgeist Movement bases its economic and social worldview explicitly on the scientific method. And so it is that when new evidence comes to light that not only fails to support our worldview but actively recommends a particular alteration, it must be adopted - or we face the dangers of dogmatism and demagoguery. In this episode Matt Berkowitz and Ben McLeish review some of the core tenets of TZM, and update them to bring them in line with the current understandings of the modern world.

Nelson, New Zealand, is a tiny community by most standards. And yet, on a recent mayoral election, "Resource Based Economy" officially appeared on the ballot paper. It received Mainstream coverage in Stuff Magazine and elsewhere. Ben McLeish talks to Richard Osmaston, whose efforts at promoting a Resource Based/Natural Law Economy in the region have included running for mayor - and he's not finished with his efforts to engage the political system in order to spread awareness.
