Must Be the Season of the Witch | James Howard Kunstler

As the Governor goblins at the Federal Reserve whistle past the graveyard of dead Quantitative Easing, and the U.S. dollar magically expands like a prickly puffer fish, and Mario Drahgi does what it takes with Euro duct tape to patch all black holes of unpayable debt from Athens to Dublin, and Japan watches its once-wondrous economy congeal in a puddle of Abenomic sludge (with a radioactive cherry on top), and China chokes on its dollar-peg, and Russia waits patiently with its old friend, Winter, covering its back -- and notwithstanding the violent chaos, beheadings, and psychopathic struggles across the old Levant, not to mention the doubling of Ebola cases every 20 days, which the World Health Organization did not have the nerve to project beyond 1.2 million in January (does the doubling just stop there?) -- there is enough instability around the globe for the gentlemen of Wall Street to make one last fabulous fortune arbitraging the future before the boomerang of consequence circles this suffering planet and finally accomplishes what the Department of Justice under Eric Holder failed to do for six long years.

1. I have read all of his World Made By Hand novels

and while they're quite good, what bothers me is that it is very clear Kunstler sincerely believes that the world-wide economic collapse, including the total disintegration of the United States, will definitely come about. It feels weird.

I've been paying attention to all sorts of apocalyptic predictions for about 60 years now, and I wonder just what it is that makes so many giddy with pleasure to make or believe in them.

2. I read the first 2

& just discovered the 3rd one due to the linked article. I just bought it for Kindle.

3. You will probably also like the third. I did.

And he's probably already well into the fourth, because there are some people in the book that are going to need another book to show them meeting each other. I don't want to say any more than that for fear of plot-spoiling.
