DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTHE FIVE STAGES OF COLLAPSE\nwith Ken Peterson\n\nWe will discuss 
 Dmitry Orlov’s new book, The Five Stages of Collapse.  Orlov became 
 well-known through his first book, Reinventing Collapse:  The Soviet 
 Example and American Prospects, which compared  the USSR’s reasons for 
 collapse and the experience of the Soviet people during this period to the 
 expected collapse of the U.S. industrial/consumerist society.  Born and 
 partially raised in Russia, Orlov brought a unique outsider’s observation 
 of the similarities and differences between the Soviet experience and the 
 American people’s potential experience of economic and social collapse.  
 In The Five Stages of Collapse Orlov presents general analysis of these 
 stages, giving  for each stage an example of a society that has already 
 experienced that particular level of collapse.  Orlov writes with his usual 
 acerbic wit, making an easy but thought-provoking read of an emotionally 
 difficult subject.  Hopefully participants will have at least started to 
 read this book, although if you start it you might not be able to put it 
 down until you finish it!  This discussion group is for those who already 
 accept the certainty in some form of the collapse of global industrial 
 society.\n\nHumanist Hall is wheelchair accessible around the corner at
