Dimitri Orlov’s book Reinventing Collapse draws convincing parallels between the USSR before collapse and the US now. From an initial fringe readership, the book is leaking into mainstream consciousness. Orlov has agreed to be the main speaker at the Feasta ‘New Emergency’ conference planned for June in Dublin this year- all going well.

This interview was recorded last night (US) and aired some hours later in Australia. Audio is available for download here. The host, Philip Adams, was well primed for the occasion and asked thoughtful questions. A good, short introduction to the subject. Although Philips did suggest opening one’s veins at the end, he also suggested opening a bottle of wine as an alternative. I am in favor of the latter.
