We're facing a future in which the economic growth the world has enjoyed over the past century can no longer continue.
Over-indebtedness, mal-investment, cronyism, manipulation, and
misguided policymaking have all certainly contributed to our current
predicament. But the principal causes are much bigger. And much harder
to address.
Simply put, we're entering an era when it's becoming increasingly
difficult to obtain the resources we need -- at the cost we need -- to
power the economic activity we need.
The trends of resource depletion, escalating mining & drilling
costs, species die-offs, emptying aquifers, declining energy yields and
the like are increasingly pitting the world's 7 billion people (soon to
be 9 billion before 2050) against each other in competition for the
remaining biomass and minerals that make industry possible.
As a result, massive changes to our way of life are in store. No matter where each of us lives.
This brand-new video shines a bright light on these trends and the
risks we face as a result. But it also offers hope. If we take action
now, while there's still time, there's much we can do not only to reduce
our personal vulnerability to these threats, but also to step into this
new future with newfound optimism:

The above video is a condensation of the 4.5-hour long
full Crash Course video series.
The data and analysis underlying the material represent over a decade
of intensive research and study. Over that decade, its forecasts have
proved increasingly validated by events like the collapse of the housing
bubble in 2007, the 2008 credit crisis and the anemic 'recovery' since,
oil prices persistently over $100 per barrel, the five-fold rise in
gold prices, and many other symptoms of an unsustainable world economy
reaching its failure point. Sadly, the risks warned of in this video are
very real, and they are arriving now.
Once you've finished watching the video, please share it with those
whom you think would most benefit from it. The more people we wake up to
its message, the more hands we'll have supporting us today in planning
for tomorrow.
