  • End of Money

    From Chris Martenson

    The End of Money

    It's time to face facts and act on them. Dangerous trends in the economy, energy, and the environment are converging on the United States and will create a "perfect storm" at some point in the next 5-15 years. Each of these alone could prove disruptive to our way of life, but together they portend both unprecedented crisis and significant opportunity.

    Exponential change is coming to individuals, to communities, and to our nation. Our society is at a crossroad. People feel uneasy, and many suspect that we are "on the wrong track" in the United States---but they do not know why. Our problems are compounding, and may even seem overwhelming:

    * Unfunded 'Baby Boom' retirement costs
    * A bursting housing bubble
    * Runaway national debt
    * Extreme energy insecurity
    * A national failure to save
    * New costs due to climate change

    Rajiv - Superb snippet, but too brief. Does Martenson offer a further exploration on the topic of the mentioned exponential trends converging? This was where he homed in on the core issue and then just veered away into other generalities. I understand it's just a summary, but can you dig up a further exploration on that? That juxtaposition of runaway macro trends was fascinating.

          I think a lot of it is stuff that you already know -- but very well presented -- and likely may clear up some confusing concepts -- also useful are the links on the side bar of the page
