Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This is the story of eight generations of one family in West
Virginia, and mirrors the joy, trials, and tribulations, of that
family, as it grew and matured with the state itself. The story
reflects the mores and customs of the Scotch-Irish and English
ancestral background of the Mitchell family as well as that of
surrounding Appalachia in general.
We are like passengers on the Titanic ten minutes after its fatal
encounter with the iceberg: though our financial system seems
unsinkable, its reliance on financialization has already doomed it.
We cannot know when the Central State and financial system will
destabilize, we only know they will destabilize. We cannot know
which of the State's fast-rising debts and obligations will be
renounced; we only know they will be renounced in one fashion or
another. The process of the unsustainable collapsing and a new,
more sustainable model emerging is called revolution. In the shared
imagination, the word conjures up images of violent overthrow of a
political order. In this book, revolution describes a blossoming of
understanding so profound that it leads to the peaceful
transformation of our social order, economy and culture. Our
distance from concentrations of wealth and power does not render us
powerless; we become powerful when we renounce the lies and
complicity that enable the Status Quo's doomed dominance. History
is not fixed; it is in our hands. We cannot await a remote future
transition to transform our lives. Revolution begins with our
internal understanding and reaches fruition in our coherently
directed daily actions in the lived-in world. It's easy to confuse
faith and political ideology. We resist changing our understanding,
as we experience this transition as instability. But changing our
minds does not require changing our faith; rather, the firmness of
our faith-in our Creator, in truth, in our ability to help others
and prevail-is the bedrock that gives us the discipline and resolve
to confront the brutally unwelcome facts of our circumstances and
make coherent plans accordingly.
This unconventional Guide to Investing in Troubled Times will help
you avoid the potentially risky limitations of conventional
investment perspectives and help you design an investment strategy
that works for you and your household. The next 20 years will not
be a simple extension of the previous 20 years. Everything that is
currently seen as permanent--the Savior State, the financialized
economy, cheap energy-- is visibly unsustainable. Status Quo
personal finance strategies--"buy and hold" and global
diversification--are doomed by their reliance on increasingly
unstable global markets and a myopic focus on the rearview mirror,
for the recent past is no longer an accurate guide to the future.
Uniquely troubled times require an unconventional understanding and
"tool kit" of investment strategies. This comprehensive guide
offers practical ideas for everyone, from those seeking to protect
401Ks or IRAs to entrepreneurs to those with more time than money
to invest in their future. This book offers a broad spectrum of
strategies for investing your human, social and financial capital
in low-risk, decentralized, diversified assets that increase
resiliency and self-reliance. Topics include systemic risk, the
spectrum of potential investments, gold, hedging, relative value,
hybrid work, income streams, ecosystems of local enterprise and the
essential tools of lower-risk investing.
