Very insightful analysis of the macro-trends in the American economy
I've been following this podcast for almost two years now, and I still look forward to a new episode every Thursday evening. Jim has been speaking up about the unsustainability of suburban development for nearly 20 years. Now, as the housing market continues to crumble and oil prices ratchet up steadily higher, his words become all the more poignant. Jim has a bit more pessimistic view of long-term trends than I personally think is warranted. However, I believe that his analysis of current trends is spot-on and I support his assertion that the US is entering the beginning of what he calls "The Long Emergency." If you're sick of vacuous news reports that shine little light on the structural weaknesses at the root of our current troubles, look no further. Jim and Duncan's dialogue will expand your understanding of the economic and energy challenges facing the world in the years ahead as well as the state of current solutions. I strongly believe that if more people were exposed to this show, we could more proactively engage with these issues rather than reacting to the consequences after the damage has been done.Read full review »

In terms of understanding what makes a city successful, Mr. Kunstler is unparalleled. He has a rare ability to pull the curtain back on why we have built such a vacuous landscape. As someone who live in the "Middle America" that he believes is populated with rubes, lunkheads, and boobs,...Read full review »
