Chris Martinsen's Free Crash Course on Economics
Tip of the Hat to pinecarr, who provided this comment at Book: INTELLIGENCE FOR EARTH–Chapter 7 Loaded.
Retired Reader states “Identifying what he [Robert D. Steele] conceives as the ten major threats to humanity as the bases for designing a global intelligence system is exactly the way to begin.” I couldn’t agree more.
Given that, and as someone who greatly admires your ability to digest huge amounts of information in your pursuit of truth, I would like to bring “The Crash Course”, by Dr. Chris Martenson, to your attention. It is available free on-line..
I think Chris’s 5 year search for the truth -relating to interacting problems in the economy, energy, and environment- complements your search for larger truths, just starting from a different perspective. I also think the knowledge he conveys may contribute additional insights for your assessment of the top threats to humanity.
For an independent review of the Crash Course by the Huffington Post, see “The Perfect Crash Course on the Economy”.
EXTRACT from Huffington Post (a great review) on the author's three core points:
“The first is that the next twenty years are going to be completely unlike the last twenty years. Second, I believe that its possible that the pace and/or scope of change could overwhelm the ability of our key social and support institutions to adapt. Third, I believe we do not lack any technology or understanding necessary to build ourselves a better future.”
