An Interview with Michael Ruppert (Extended)

Michael C. Ruppert, Author of Confronting Collapse, talks about oil prices, the immanent disruption of society, and the “lifeboats“ he’s seen so far. 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. Given the 96 percent correlation between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions and the unlikelihood of economic growth without a spike in energy use, Ruppert argues that we are not, in fact, on the verge of economic recovery, but on the verge of complete collapse.
