By most economic indicators, America is inching toward financial collapse. The familiar signposts are all too visible:
profligate spending, a debased currency, bank failures, record foreclosures, and the looming threat of a crippling
energy crisis. We have grown accustomed to living in a stable, prosperous society, and many of us may not be prepared
for a shock of this magnitude.
Depression 2.0 is a practical, empowering, hands-on guide to persevering and even thriving in the event of an
economic crisis. Placing particular emphasis on self-sufficiency and personal resilience, this timely, informative book
offers a hopeful way forward in a time of great uncertainty. Bankruptcy, barter, and survival investing are just a few
of the important topics explored.
Chapters include:
* When Economies Fail: A Look Ahead
* Sounds of Distant Thunder: Preparing for Collapse
* Clearing the Slate: The Bankruptcy Option
* Trapped Inside: Urban Survival
* Return to Simplicity: Rural Retreat Options
* Powering Down: Surviving Gridcrash
* Between the Cracks: When You Have No Shelter
* Beyond Currency: Barter and the Black Market
* Survival Finances: Investments for Uncertain Future
Depression 2.0 is the fourth title in Process’ celebrated Self-Reliance Series, created to help urbanites make
smart choices to live sustainably and self-sufficiently in the twenty-first century.
