A Worthwhile Documentary: "The Crisis of Civilization"

Based on the book, A User's Guide to the Crisis of Civilization and How to Save It by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed (2011), the following film documentary discusses the disastrous effects of neo-liberal policy in relation to the international market of oil. How must relations within our global society change? How can we (planetary citizens) learn to live without oil?


To learn more about disaster capitalism, I would recommend reading Naomi Klein's (2008) The Shock Doctrine, in addition to watching the documentary Capitalism is the Crisis (2011). Both are complementary to the other. 

What are your thoughts?
