The Five Stages of Collapse

Dmitry Orlov, author of “Reinventing Collapse” tells of his experience in Russia during that country’s collapse to warn Americans that the a similar event has begun in the U.S.

There are five stages of the collapse: financial collapse, commercial collapse, political collapse, social collapse and cultural collapse.

Orlov believe the U.S. is undergoing a financial collapse now. “Financial institutions become insolvent; savings are wiped out, and access to capital is lost,” Orlov writes. Does that sound familiar?

• With commercial collapse, store shelves are stripped bare.
• Political collapse is a breakdown of public order.
• In social collapse people lose faith that society will take care of them and begin to fend for themselves.
• Cultural collapse is when even those bonds are broken.
