<div>Our actions are determined by our beliefs. And our beliefs are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves.</div>
<div>So what happens when the stories we tell ourselves are inaccurate?</div>
<div>The short answer is: we find ourselves engaging in actions that aren't aligned with our best interests.</div>
<div>Charles Eisenstein has made a profession out of studying the intersection of economics and philosophy. And he thinks that over the past several generations, enabled by an unprecedented subsidy of abundant cheap energy, our society has become so far decoupled from natural laws that it has adopted a paradigm of thinking (or "stories") dangerously irrelevant to the future we face.</div>
<div>As resource scarcity increasingly expresses the natural forces that applied to our grandparents' generation and those prior, we are still living under a mindset that assumes predictable, endless growth. <SPAN class=yiv516161630read-more><A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/blog/charles-eisenstein-time-better-narrative/71231?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=node_teaser_71231&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank></B><B> read more »</A></SPAN></div></DIV><WBR>

<div>The idea that the very same economic forces that are currently plaguing Greece, et al., are somehow not relevant to the United States' circumstances does not hold water. As goes the rest of the world, so goes the US. </div>
<div>When we back up far enough, it is clear that money and debt are there to reflect and be in service to the production of real things by real people, not the other way around. With too much debt relative to production, it is the debt that will suffer. The same is true of money. Neither are magical substances; they are merely markers for real things. When they get out of balance with reality, they lose value, and sometimes even their entire meaning.</div>
<div>This report lays out the case that the US is irretrievably down the rabbit hole of deficits and debt, and that, even if there were endless natural resources of increasing quality available at this point, servicing the debt loads and liabilities of the nation will require both austerity and a pretty serious fall in living standards for most people. <SPAN class=yiv516161630read-more><A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/blog/why-currency-fail/70928?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=node_teaser_70928&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank></B><B> read more »</A></SPAN></div></DIV><WBR>

<div><IMG alt="" align=left src="http://media.chrismartenson.com/images/james-dines-teaser.jpg">James Dines has been in the business of making bold calls for over 50 years. In this deep-diving interview, he minces no words about the dire risks the US economy - and the world at large - faces at this juncture.</div>
<div>Simply put, he sees the excessive credit in the financial system as having placed the global economy on a collision-course with hyperinflation.</div>
<div>Unlike past periods of turmoil, there are no truly 'safe' places for investment capital to hide. Geographic markets and almost all asset classes are positively correlated these days. They share many of the same risks and if a systemic crash occurs, they will crash together. <SPAN class=yiv516161630read-more><A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/blog/james-dines-owning-wealth-ground-your-best-bet-surviving-coming-supernova-inflations/70804?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=node_teaser_70804&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank></B><B> read more »</A></SPAN></div></DIV><WBR><WBR><B><A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/category/blog/daily-digest?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=header_dailydigest&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank>DAILY DIGEST</A></B>

<H2>Part II: Surviving a Currency Crisis</H2>
<H5><B>The Biggest Risk</B></H5>
<div>The biggest risk here is not a sudden collapse of the currency that catches everyone off guard some Tuesday afternoon in a matter of minutes. The biggest risk is not believing that the collapse is underway. Most people are going to lose most of their wealth simply because they could not mentally and/or emotionally grasp what was actually happening.</div>
<div>Consider that in Greece the banks are under a tremendous run losing up to 25% of total deposits. Sounds extreme but let's look at it the other way, just what are the 75% of remaining depositors thinking? How could they leave their money in a Greek bank for another minute? What are they thinking? Probably that somehow things will get better, or some other rationalization that supports their decision to hunker down and hope.</div>
<div>In reading <A href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586489941/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=chrismartenso-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1586489941" rel=nofollow target=_blank>When Money Dies</A>, an historical account of the events leading up to and through the Weimar hyperinflation in Germany, one hears anecdote after anecdote of families and individuals impoverished by their own disbelief and inaction. Most just sat numbly by waiting for the currency to come back, or buying government bonds because they were asked to as a matter of patriotism, or just trusting that the government would figure something out, hoping that things would soon turn around. </div>
<div>In Argentina the same dynamic happened. We've heard in detail on this site from <A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/blog/argentina-case-study-how-economy-collapses/59179?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=node_teaser_70931&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Fernando "FerFAL" Aguirre</A> how those who lost most we the ones who hestitated to acknowledge the reality of what was happening until it was too late.</div><SPAN class=yiv516161630read-more><A href="http://www.chrismartenson.com/martensonreport/surviving-currency-crisis?utm_source=newsletter_2012-02-10&utm_medium=email_newsletter&utm_content=node_teaser_70931&utm_campaign=weekly_newsletter_57" rel=nofollow target=_blank></B><B> read more »</A></SPAN></DIV><WBR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
