The Crash Course An Honest Approach to Facing the Future of Our Economy, Energy, and Environment

Praise for THE CRASH COURSE

“In 1972, I was a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant, a helicopter gunship pilot in Vietnam. My crew and I crashed three times in Vietnam. All of us returned home alive and in one piece. Why? Because Marine flight crews…practice crashing. If you want to survive the next ten years, I highly recommend you study my friend Chris Martenson’s The Crash Course, and thrive while the global economy crashes.”
—Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad

“Chris Martenson’s The Crash Course lifts away the mystification about our money, and the system it fuels, and makes absolutely clear why our society is wobbling into a dark age. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fortifying your family and your community for the rough ride that’s starting right now.”
—Jim Kunstler, prolific author and blogger

“As a former investment manager and current energy investor, I’m shocked that my professional colleagues seldom fully understand the interactions between energy, the economy, and the environment. The Crash Course explains how these interactions work, and the complex ways they affect the average person. Fortunately, Dr. Chris Martenson has a gift for making complex subjects easy to understand. The Crash Course is an absolute must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet.”
—Erik Townsend, former software entrepreneur and hedge fund manager
