[I cannot recommend Chris Martenson's "Crash Course" highly enough. It will de-mystify the economic scene for you and frame the topic in terms of sustainable economics vs. the financial practices of corporate capitalism that are destroying the planet and its inhabitants. How do we intelligently understand resources and use them to support our communities and the larger earth community? How do we astutely read the tea leaves and establish food and energy security in the face of Peak Oil and global economic meltdown? The current economic collapse makes clear that we are entering a new financial paradigm. Understanding how the old one has gotten us to where we are now and what we need to do differntly is crucial for navigating the current transition and building new economic structures. In a word, Martenson makes sense!--CB]

INTRODUCTION 

My belief is that massive, unprecedented change is coming. No, I believe that it is already underway. When the dust settles in one, five, or twenty years, the economic landscape will be utterly changed. Another belief is that by taking steps now, both small and large, you can significantly minimize disruptions in your life that so many others will experience. While we will all end up in the same place in twenty years, I want your path to be as gentle as possible. By undergoing voluntary change, you will have more opportunities to shape your path than those who find change involuntarily forced on them. Where others will someday reach a cliff face that needs to be scaled all at once, my goal is to walk with you up the side trail. The Crash Course is my main offering and each Martenson Report is designed to reinforce those lessons with my goal being to help you navigate the changes ahead.
