The world is experiencing a series of crises. In The Crash Course: An Honest Approach to Facing the Future of Our Economy, Energy, and Environment, Revised Edition, Chris Martenson delivers an incisive and eye-opening exploration that explains why it is the interconnectedness of the various crises that matters most. From energy shortages to climate instability, financial crises, supply chain disruptions, pandemics, war, and crop failures, you'll discover the common factor that is driving them all and how to adapt to volatile new realities and safeguard your own personal wealth, health, and community.
In the book, you'll find effective solutions for living with unpredictability and change, as well as: a workable framework for understanding the "how" and "why" of dramatic societal, environmental, and economic transformation; a rich set of solutions, complete with examples, you can use to draw inspiration and motivation to act in your own life; and an expansive amount of new material, fully updated since the last edition. A transformative and thought-provoking strategic playbook for managing increasingly unexpected events, crises, and revolutions, The Crash Course, Revised Edition is an essential resource for anyone concerned about their retirement savings and the world's environment, as well as anyone hoping to become more independent and self-reliant.
