Blogroll Me!
I follow a blog called CLUBORLOV which is a blog from the author of Reinventing Collapse by Dmitry Orlov.
This talk was presented at The New Emergency Conference in Dublin, on June 11, 2009.

"we all have to prepare for life without much money, where imported goods are scarce, and where people have to provide for their own needs, and those of their immediate neighbours. I will take as my point of departure the unfolding collapse of the global economy, and discuss what might come next. It started with the collapse of the financial markets last year, and is now resulting in unprecedented decreases in the volumes of international trade. These developments are also starting to affect the political stability of various countries around the world. A few governments have already collapsed, others may be on their way, and before too long we may find our maps redrawn in dramatic ways."
