James Howard Kunstler: It's Too Late for Solutions – Adam Taggart, PeakProsperity
Author and social critic James Howard Kunstler has been one of the
earliest, most direct, and most articulate voices to warn of the
consequences -- economic and otherwise -- of modern society's profligate
wasting of the resources that underlie its growth.
In his new book Too Much Magic,
Jim attacks the wishful thinking dominant today that with a little more
growth, a little more energy, a little more technology -- a little more
magic -- we'll somehow sail past our current tribulations without having to change our behavior.
Such self-delusion is particularly dangerous because it is preventing
us from taking intelligent, constructive action at the national level
when the clock is fast ticking out of our favor. In fact, Jim claims we
are past the state where solutions are possible - instead, we need a
response plan to help us best brace for the impact of the coming
consequences. And we need it fast.
