CONFRONTING COLLAPSE: THE CRISIS OF ENERGY AND MONEY IN A POST PEAK OIL WORLD A 25-POINT PROGRAM FOR ACTION

Book ID/图书代码： 03008009B33690

English Summary/英文概要： The world is running short of energy-especially cheap, easy-to-find oil. Shortages, along with resulting price increases, threaten industrialized civilization, the global economy, and our entire way of life.

In Confronting Collapse, author Michael C. Ruppert, a former LAPD narcotics officer turned investigative journalist, details the intricate connections between money and energy, including the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in September 2008. Ruppert argues that we are not, in fact, on the verge of economic recovery, but on the verge of complete collapse.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 整个世界正面临着资源匮乏的问题，尤其是廉价，易开采的石油。这种匮乏将直接导致物价上涨，威胁工业化生产，全球化经济以及每个人的生活。
在本书中，作者（前任洛杉矶警察局麻醉科官员，现为一名调查记者），详细说明了利益和能源之间错综复杂的关联，包括2008年9月起，因石油匮乏与价格峰值导致的经济危机。作者表示，事实上，我们并没有进入经济复苏，相反，我们恰恰位于全盘崩溃的边缘。(ZH)

Awards/获奖情况：If ever there was a need for a particular book at a particular time, it’s this book now.---Jenna Orkin, World Trade Center Environmental Organization

Ruppert’s truth is not merely inconvenient. It is utterly devastating.
But there is still hope. Ruppert outlines a 25-point plan of action, including the creation of a second strategic petroleum reserve for the use of state and local governments, a thorough assessment of soil conditions nationwide, and an emergency action plan for soil restoration and sustainable agriculture.
Mike Ruppert has an unblemished track record for saying things that are incendiary, outrageous, shocking-and true. Our new president needs desperately to hear the uncomfortable message of this book about energy and the economy, and so do the rest of us.---Richard Heinberg, PhD, author of The Party’s Over, Peak Everything, The Oil Depletion Protocol and senior fellow, Post Carbon Institute

Mike Ruppert has been at the forefront of speaking and writing about the grim reality that the world’s crude oil output is peaking or has already peaked and will soon begin what could be swift declines over the next decade or two. The world needs to pay careful attention to the multiple risks this event will usher in. Thanks to Ruppert’s new book, readers around the world will have access to his well-written work.---Matthew R. Simmons, Chairman, Simmons & Companyz
