THE CRASH COURSE

The Crash Course is a 20-part series of free video clips that explains what's going on with debt and the money system, but also relates the financial crisis to peaking energy supplies and resource scarcity. Chris Martenson does a masterful job of making dry but important concepts easily understandable. The animated graphs and other features, combined with the clear explanations in the voiceovers, make this one of the best presentations we've ever seen. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the financial meltdown in the larger context of debt and constrained energy supplies—and who wants to better understand the approaching storm.
