Zeitgeist is a concept from eighteenth- to nineteenth-century German philosophy, meaning “spirit of the age”. It refers to an invisible agent or force dominating the characteristics of a given epoch in world history.

Capturing the Zeitgeist

Future Story Lab identifies the right economic container for the potential that exists in any place people choose to gather and create a better life for all, no exceptions. We seek to work with communities to, as Buckminster Fuller says, ‘make the invisible, visible.’

1. Create a new economic story of an inclusive, accessible shared future for all, no exceptions
2. Emerge, Engage & Advance the culture of the local community
3. Seed, root & grow businesses reflective of culture and responsive to community needs
4. Leverage technology to accelerate existing businesses in community
5. Activate a platform for local wealth production utilizing the 214 Alpha Community Activation App
