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.
