Abstract:
We live in uncertain times. Natural disasters, pandemic diseases, terrorism, and an unstable economy threaten to unravel our society. So what happens if society WERE to collapse? Key institutions such as banks, markets, medical systems, law enforcement, churches – even the home itself – would radically change overnight. As Hurricane Katrina showed, government is NOT the solution. Yet there is hope… if people work together. How can a community – and individuals – rebuild a society after it collapses? With practical ideas, Vance Lindstrom discusses the steps necessary to become a self-sufficient household, restore these institutions, and prepare for any crisis that may come.
