SOME THOUGHTS

Our next decade is going to look very different from the last few decades. To get a good understanding of what is ahead, you should start with Dr. Chris Martenson's "The Crash Course." This is a clear, straightforward explanation of how "our economy, energy systems and environment interact -- how we got to where we are today, and some reasonable expectations for the future."

Additionally, the work of Dmitry Orlov is particularly important. Be sure to listen to his "Social Collapse Best Practices" speech from February 2009. It is an excellent depiction of what we may expect in the years ahead.

Finally, Thomas E. Woods Jr. presented an excellent speech at the Mises Scholars Conference (March 12-14, 2009) in Auburn, Alabama entitled "Why You've Never Heard of the Depression of 1920." Thomas is an excellent speaker and his presentation should provide you much to consider as he contrasts Austrian Economics with Keynesian Economics.
