Confronting Collapse

In Confronting Collapse, Michael C. Ruppert details the intricate connections between money and energy, including the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in September 2008. Given oil's stranglehold on our economy and the reality of insufficient supplies, Ruppert argues that we are not, in fact, on the verge of economic recovery, but on the verge of complete collapse. The truth is not merely inconvenient. It is utterly devastating. But there is still hope. Ruppert outlines a plan of action that can break the U.S. and global economic addiction to oil in time to avoid social catastrophe - but only if we can overcome political inertia and the entrenched power of the energy interests.
