The world is experiencing a series of crises. In The Crash Course: An Honest Approach to Facing the Future of Our Economy, Energy, and Environment, Revised Edition, Chris Martenson delivers an incisive and eye-opening exploration that explains why it is the interconnectedness of the various crises that matters most.

Informative

I adore the narrator! His voice is amazing!
The writing is fantastic-so much wonderful information and done in such a way that it blows your mind but also gives you reassurance on how to make things better for yourself.
Definitely recommend!

Pretty good

The author gets a little too concerned with money, insisting that humanity can't exist without it, which was demonstrably false for 90+% of the species' existence. Because of this, he's also a bit of a gold bug. However, if you can excuse that, the rest of it is a pretty solid book. With mild reservations, I do recommend.

Some of the most important info

I really wish the author would have narrated this audiobook. All the same, it is very listenable. I believe that inside of this book is some of the best analysis of where we are in the human story that has ever been written. This is a gigantic look at the interplay between three enormous systems that are at the bottom of everything our social order depends on— the economy, ecosystem, and energy. If you like books that give you a sense of where we’ve been as a species, and where we are going at the widest scale possible, this book is for you. If aliens arrive and ask where we are in our story, the crash course is one of a few books I hand to them.

Valueable Information
