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?

Here’s a list of lists to get you started.  addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2FMadMoneyMachine.com%2F2008%2F09%2F27%2Fstudying-the-collapse%2F'; addthis_title = 'Studying+the+Collapse'; addthis_pub = ''; Less
