Executive Summary
- Despite attempts to distract us, the systemic rot is accelerating
- Why an approaching painful reset is a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ at this point
- The big step I’ve just taken in my own planning
- An opportunity for a few interested others to join me

What sort of country lavishes unnecessary wealth on its already-rich citizens while cutting off access to food for its very poorest? What kind of culture provides endless backstops and bailouts for the financial elites (socialism for the rich) no matter the cost to the rest of society?
Not a healthy one, that’s for sure.
Similar disheartening stories abound for rapacious drug pricing (insulin, inhalers, etc., ad nauseum), profoundly underfunded pensions, disappearing insects and other species, increasing weather oddities, oceans filled with plastic, and other such mega-predicaments.
None of this is remotely healthy. It speaks of decay and rot, as seems to happen throughout history when empires teeter-totter ever closer to their expiration date.
Did you know that the only two rich societies in the world with falling life expectancies, incomes, savings, happiness, trust — every single social indicator you can imagine — are America and Britain?
How is any of this tolerable to anybody? How much longer will people tolerate this sloppy mess? And what will they do when they awaken to its dangers and injustice?
I want you to become prepared and resilient for what’s coming next. Don’t just sit there hoping for the best.
Personally, I’m in full-blown action mode right now.
Specifically, I’ve just made the major investment to… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Fifty years ago, an international team of researchers was commissioned by the Club of Rome to build a computer simulation of exponential economic and population growth on a finite planet.
In 1971, its findings were first released in Moscow and Rio de Janeiro, and later published in 1972 under the title The Limits To Growth. The report concluded society would start experiencing serious declines in resources and population soon after 2030.
One of the original seventeen researchers involved in The Limits To Growth study, Dennis Meadows, joins us for the podcast this week. Fifty years later, what does he foresee ahead?

We often ends our articles on this site with “It’s time.”
By that, we mean there’s no wiggle room left.
If we want to avoid being collateral damage when the systems we depend on inevitably snap due to their inherent unsustainability, we’ve got to get going — now! — on transitioning to the models that will persist afterwards.
Society will not likely do this advance work. But you can.
Below is our guidance on the most important investments to start making now with your time. It includes a catalog of educational videos from recent live PP events and webinars, exclusive to our premium subscribers.

A full decade and some $14 Trillion in newly-printed money later, plus the cheapest interest rates in recorded history, and yet the central banks have not been able to restore growth to the global economy. The experiment has failed.
What good is Dow 30,000 if 75% of us can’t afford a house or scrape together $400 in an emergency?

Vision Elements
As many Peak Prosperity readers are aware, I’m working closely with a few of you behind the scenes on wrestling a lot of ideas expressed on this site into a grand vision of a model for a new and better way of living — one that improves upon the many unsustainable and failing elements of the current status quo.
The idea to which I am now most keenly attracted, and which is drawing so much of my attention, concerns being in a community dedicated to regeneration. For the land, for each of us as individuals, for each other, and especially for the all the generations to come.
There’s a bottomless amount of work to be done. The task is relentless. And it’s rewarding and meaningful.
I’m reading many excellent books and articles and doing what I do best, which is to sift through a lot of information, enough so that a coherent distillation can be created and then shared.
Here are the gleanings so far… (Enroll now to continue reading)
