#81 – The Crash Course – A Strategy for Survival and Growth

Jason talks with Chris Martenson author of The Crash Course from Springfield, Massachusetts to provide you with a baseline understanding of the economy so that you can better appreciate the risks that we all face. Chris is a father of three young children; author; obsessive financial observer; trained as a scientist; experienced in business; has made profound changes in his lifestyle because of what he sees coming. He is not an economist but a trained scientist, having completed both a PhD and a post-doctoral program at Duke University, where he specialized in neurotoxicology. His extensive training as a scientist informs and guides how he thinks, gathers data, develops hypotheses, and continually seeks to accept or reject my hypotheses based on the evidence at hand. He lets the hard data tell the story. In this fascinating show you will learn about exponential money growth that compounds the problem (and the opportunity), growth vs. prosperity, assets, demographics, bubbles, peak oil, energy budgeting and what do to about the future.
