Is it time to acknowledge that the problems we face today are inextricably linked to our global economic system? In Future for Sale filmmaker Maja Borg will investigate why a radical departure from our monetary-based economy might be the only way to save the environment and with it humankind.
But is such global change possible? Challenging her own disillusions, Maja adopts a more positive attitude; a futuristic vision of a better world, and embarks on a journey to find out. Discovering the potentials of an alternative economy she asks: How would we evolve if our society was motivated by something deeper than profit and
Can we afford not to create a world without money?
Majas journey will take us to the USA & Sweden, in the footsteps of 92-year-old futurist, industrial engineer, architect and social designer Jacque Fresco, who has spent his entire life finding solutions for fundamental, positive change to our present economic system. Following key moments of his life, Maja travels from the beginning of last century into an optimistic vision of a post-scarcity future. She takes a playful and provocative look at the world through the eyes of Jacque and his futurist peers, some of whom are tirelessly working towards making this vision become a reality.
