To do that, you can either search for me on Patreon.com or use the link in the upper right hand corner of my website, kunstler.com. My guest today is Dmitry Orlov, an old friend of the podcast. He’s been here many times. He’s the author of Reinventing Collapse and many other books. He’s also become a publisher lately. One of the books that he’s published we shall be talking about today, 150-Strong: A Pathway to a Different Future by Rob O’Grady. I’m a long-time fan of Dmitry Orlov. He brings a clear eyed worldview and mordant sense of humor to the rather confusing and confounding events of our time. Listen up now. There will be a quiz as we discuss 150-Strong by Rob O’Grady. Tell the listeners, if you would, why I’m interviewing you about it and not Rob O’Grady.
Orlov: Well, Rob has sort of indicated that he’s perfectly comfortable with having me do interviews on his behalf and I’m happy to do it. I’m not only his publisher, I’m also his publicist. That’s suits both of us fine.
Kunstler: Is he shy?
Orlov: He’s not particularly shy. But he’s your typical engineer. He’s very soft spoken and talks in long paragraphs and that sort of thing. Maybe I’m a little bit more effective having done so many interviews over the years.
Kunstler: Well, it’s fine with me if we talk about this his book through you. I found it to be a bit of an intellectual puzzle box but let’s try to unwrap parts of the puzzle and see where it takes us.
