Studying the Collapse (repost)

Here are some good things I listened to or read today in trying to prepare for show 129 and trying to figure out how to survive if a collapse really does happen:

• NPR Planet Money Podcast 9/26/2008: The Week America’s Economy Almost Died (audio program). This explains what the credit lockup means and why everyone was scared last week.
• Sound Investing Special Report Coping With the Wall Street Crisis (audio program) How to remain calm and invest.
• Gary North: Blaming the Victim: The Free Market. Excellent article on why it wasn’t the free market’s fault, it was the gobmint’s fault.
• Pat Buchanan: Day of Reckoning. Rather pessimistic?
• Everything else at LewRockwell.com and LewRockwell.com/blog I’m addicted to reading this site.
• And just for good measure read SurvivalBlog.com before it’s too late. Here’s a list of lists to get you started.
