Dmitry Orlov : Peak Oil lessons from the Soviet Union
http://www.cluborlov.com/
There are a lot of excellent insights in the video .
For example ." Orlov says that people would have of only to work 100 days a year to make a living . "
I agree with that . In my view the unemployment factor is totally manufactured .
By reducing the working hours from 40 to 30 a week a lot of employment would be created . Of course the salary would be reduced by 25% and the employers , to maintain the same output would have to hire more people . To avoid forcing the employees to work overtime , the employer would have to be heavily penalized . Society would have to rewrite the rules on work , on the profits of multinationals ,on the operation of the banks etc, etc.
Soviet Russia was better prepared for an economic collapse than the US is today .
In the old Soviet Russia , people had an apartment or house and when the economy collapsed people still had accommodation , but in the US it is different , an unemployed person could be forced to sell the house if he/she can't pay the state taxes . That's totally ridiculous . The result of those inhuman laws is that people live in tents ,after they lost the house !
