Economics for Dummies; Introduction to Economics & the Zeitgeist Movement.

Economics is the basis of anything.  Economics is what drives today’s business world, political world, and modern society as a whole.  This series of posts that I will be creating will be related to Zeitgeist the movie.

The following is an overview of the type of topics that the movie covers:

Social Issues – Beliefs and Dis-beliefs in today’s modern society.

Cultural Identity – What is the Modern Society’s culture? How do people work? How does a culture come to emerge?

Spirituality – More of a focus on religion and facts that explain how Religion came to be.

Famous Beliefs & Myths - Talks more about superstitious beliefs that exist in today’s society (economic, religious, anthropological, and etc.)Micro/Macro-Economics – Current Economic Systems, potential flaws, and ideal methods that contribute to creating the ideal Utopian Society.

Environmental Issues – Talks more about conspiracies/discrepancies in the stories that were told to the public, and reports written to describe what happened during a specific event (ex. 9/11); the reports act as a “debrief” for people that are higher up on the political hierarchy. 

Before we start talking about Economics, what it is, how it came to be, and its flaws, as well as alternatives to Economic Systems, and some other topics listed above, I thought a video would be a fun way to introduce you to this topic.

This comedian picks 10 of the most basic basics principles of Economics and points out the flaws of it and what it really means in a simple yet with a humorous tone.

Did you find the video humorous/interesting?  What emotions did u feel during this video? Did you feel they were positive or mostly negative?  What about these complex topics and information packed ideas intrigues the most?  What topic(s) do you find most interesting?  

Note:  I will be warning you guys if sensitive topics are going to be covered in my blog post.
