The Crash Course
My name is Chris Martenson. I'm not an economist. I'm a trained research scientist, and a former Fortune 300 VP. Most importantly, though, I'm a concerned citizen. I think the next twenty years are going to look very different from the last twenty years. This is my attempt to explain why. This is what I call the Crash Course. This series of videos is, I think, the clearest and most straightforward explanation of how our economy, energy systems and environment interact -- how we got to where we are today, and some reasonable expectations for the future. The Crash Course seeks to provide you with a baseline understanding of the economy so that you can better appreciate the risks that we all face.
