New Interview with JHK about The Harrows of Spring

Praise for A History of the Future:
Kunstler skewers everything from kitsch to greed, prejudice, bloodshed, and brainwashing in this wily, funny, rip-roaring, and profoundly provocative page- turner, leaving no doubt that the prescriptive yet devilishly satiric A World Made by Hand series will continue.” — Booklist

    Great podcast! Kirk Bostrom is a great guest. THE RICH need servants they will be fine with Robots. As for the non rich grab your ankles. This is a house of card that started falling years ago and been covered up by great PR. Jacksonville,FL gas $ 1.87 gal. I feel the shaking of the small and mid size black gold hunters. Getting ready for a four book reading orgy! Time is booked and getting ready to order from Battenkill Books ! Thanks for a great podcast and wonderful books. Both fiction and non fiction.

    Between Bostrom’s rather breathless delivery and the audible bewilderment of Chris Martenson a few times a month, I’m left wondering WHY any of these professional gamblers think that anything rational is playing, or will play, out? Is it not quite obvious by now that the name of the GAME is doing anything and everything to keep it all moving despite the curtain falling? We have been in the post-capitalist age for a while folks, feel free to drop your baggage from the previous era where you see fit.
