Good question. The author refers to a Barton Biggs book, “Wealth, War and Wisdom”, that suggests the following:
“Your safe haven must be self-sufficient and capable of growing some kind of food … It should be well-stocked with seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc. Think Swiss Family Robinson.”
Now, Barton Biggs is an old Wall Street insider…for someone like that to write an apocalyptic book is highly unusual. But perhaps he is revealing the inside view of what Wall Street truly believes. After all, there are two kinds of reality: the real reality and perceived reality. The top echelon of wealthy society is especially adept in manufacturing reality. But gravitational forces of perception and reality eventually merge into a single fuzzy entity.
The Market Watch article continues:
Out of the ashes of anarchy must come a Second American Revolution. But unfortunately nothing will happen until a great crisis awakens America … shocks the conscience of the masses … we are “asleep” … only a seismic, systemic shock will trigger the necessary revolution.
We are at the tail end of a two-generations worth of wealth creation. The potential unwinding of this wealth could be apocalyptic.
