How Should We Prepare for a Worsening Economy? And what mindset should we adopt to Thrive?

Over the past decade, FreedomFest (www.freedomfest.com) has become the must-attend convention for entrepreneurs with a liberty bent, and free-market supporters with a yen for innovation. The two camps of attendees love Mr. Skousen’s framing of this annual event for the doers who want to hone their ideology for a better world, and idealists needing practical skills to profit from “doing good”. So how can this dynamic help the earnest human in the midst of economic destruction?

Governments and their special interest controllers certainly are ruining the economy. Our central banks are too drunk on debt to impose any responsible hikes in interest rates. Politicians see the populace so easily cowed by “bread and circuses” that they rarely face pressure to be fiscally responsible. And any truth-teller trying to save humanity easily and quickly is marginalized by the technocrats who scarily seem actually to seek a globalist control grid that doesn't envision the type of vibrant society Freedom Fest attendees desire.
