STUDY GROUP

On Thursday, September 11, we will meet at 6:30 p.m. to discuss Dmitry Orlov's book "Reinventing Collapse" (New Society Publishers, 2008).

In case you can't get the book, read Orlov's funny but insightful essay "Closing the Collapse Gap: the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US " which you can find on the web at: http://www.energybulletin.net/node/23259.

The book "Reinventing Collapse" is more "serious" than the essay but is still pretty interesting and sometimes hysterically funny. We thought this would be good to study because it gives us insight into what we should be preparing for as the environment and the economy decline, and oil supplies are less and less available - regardless if there's a collapse as dramatic as Orlov predicts - and it's in line with Andrew Harvey's view of how bad off we really are.

If you have any questions, please email Keith at keith@compassionatespirit.com.
