Crash Course in Economics

Chris Martenson is not an economist - he is a trained research scientist, and a former Fortune 300 VP. He has developed this 'Crash Course in Economics' - a series of videos and transcripts to offer an insight into the links between the economy, monetary system, growth, climate change and other environmental impacts.

'If it seems like the pace of change is speeding up, well, that’s because it is. You happen to live at a time when humans will finally have to confront the fact that our exponential money system and resource use will encounter hard, physical limits...

The fact that you live here, in the presence of multiple exponential graphs relating to everything from money to population to species extinction, has powerful implications for your life and the lives of those who will follow you. It deserves your very highest attention.'
