Here is a good article on the current economic crisis. I have been a fan of Kunstler since reading his book,
The Road to Nowhere, which tackles the problem with the American obsession of suburbia, which I posted a review for on this forum. I agree with Kunstler that society needs to rebuild the economy as a goods economy rather than a debtor economy. Not goods in the mass consumerism sense, but investments in communities.
