Only the strong will survive. But what does it mean to be strong? The "Smash" has been building for years--runaway national debt, escalating oil prices--but when order finally breaks down, it happens astonishingly fast. Economic collapse. Government in chaos. Gas shortages. Loss of power. No running water. Martial law. Rioting, looting, and lawlessness... Security specialist DJ Frost saw the writing on the wall, and he has prepared. He's planned his bug-out route to escape a city many are now trapped in. With his ATV, night-vision goggles, gear, guns, and enough gas to get him to his retreat home in the country, he ventures out alone under cover of darkness. For Gabe Horne, the "Smash" is nothing compared to his own moral and spiritual collapse after losing his wife and son. But in this time of crisis, he may not have the luxury of drinking himself to death. There are others at his door, and they will need to help one another to survive. Each man, in his own way, will face the ultimate challenge of preparedness in this new world order--as both hurtle toward a devastating showdown....

Moroccan Households in the World Economy

Moroccan Households in the World Economy

David Crawford

Louisiana State University Press
2008
nidottu
In the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, far from the hustle and noise of urban centers, lies a village made of mud and rock, barely discernible from the surrounding landscape. Yet a closer look reveals a carefully planned community of homes nestled above the trees, where rock slides are least frequent, and steep terraces of barley fields situated just above spring flood level. The Berber-speaking Muslims who live and farm on these precipitous mountainsides work together at the arduous task of irrigating the fields during the dry season, continuing a long tradition of managing land, labor, and other essential resources collectively. In Moroccan Households in the World Economy, David Crawford provides a detailed study of the rhythms of highland Berber life, from the daily routines of making a living in such a demanding environment to the relationships between individuals, the community, and the national economy. Demonstrating a remarkably complete understanding of every household and person in the village, Crawford traces the intricacies of cooperation between households over time. Employing a calculus known as ""arranging the bones,"" villagers attempt to balance inequality over the long term by accounting for fluctuations in the needs and capacities of each person, household, and family at different stages in its history. Tradition dictates that children ""owe"" labor to their parents and grandparents as long as they live, and fathers decide when and where the children in their household work. Some may be asked to work for distant religious lodges or urban relatives they haven't met because of a promise made by long-dead ancestors. Others must migrate to cities to work as wage laborers and send their earnings home to support their rural households. While men and women leave their community to work, Morocco and the wider world come to the village in the form of administrators, development agents, and those representing commercial interests, all with their own agendas and senses of time. Integrating a classic village-level study that nevertheless engages with the realities of contemporary migration, Crawford succinctly summarizes common perceptions and misperceptions about the community while providing a salient critique of the global expansion of capital. In this beautifully observed ethnography, Crawford challenges assumptions about how Western economic processes transfer to other contexts and pulls the reader into an exotic world of smoke-filled kitchens, dirt-floored rooms, and communal rooftop meals -- a world every bit as fascinating as it is instructive.

Dealing with Privilege

Dealing with Privilege

David Crawford

Lexington Books
2019
sidottu
Dealing with Privilege: Cannabis, Cocaine, and the Economic Foundations of Suburban Drug Culture focuses on the careers of nine successfully retired drug dealers, offering a contrast to sociological, criminological, and other depictions of drug dealing as a realm of the desperate, dangerous, and poor. David Crawford tells the great untold story of drug dealing in America, where white, middle-class dealers are unlikely to suffer the enforcement of drug laws. Contrary to media portrayals, Crawford argues that suburban drug sales are not oriented primarily toward making money but at making friends and having fun. Using economic anthropology, classic sociology, and neuroscience to analyze the life trajectories of these dealers, Crawford touches on issues of crime, race, culture, aging, gender, privilege, illegal drugs, and the limits of conventional economics as a framework to understand economic behavior.

Prepared: Ready to Roll: Why Responsible People Are Preparing

Prepared: Ready to Roll: Why Responsible People Are Preparing

David Crawford; Sig Swanstrom

Oxbridge Press
2015
nidottu
Sky-is-falling paranoia isn't helpful. We just need to be alert, prepared, and ready to roll. SIG SWANSTROM and DAVID CRAWFORD help us wrap our minds around why we need to make our emergency preparations a top priority. In the process, they show us how to get ready for a tomorrow that may look very different from today. Similar to CRAWFORD'S bestselling novel 'Lights Out, ' his 48-page novelette 'Ready to Roll, ' which is only available in this book, is a heart-pounding fiction story based on a credible threat. It is also a riveting reminder that grave danger can strike suddenly and without warning. SWANSTROM has extensive experience with crime, civil unrest, and disasters, so he is able to do three things for us. He helps us understand the risks we face today. Plus, he uses the fiction story to give us practical insights, which we can then use to guide our own preparations. And, to further validate his insights, he outlines the U.S. Government's quiet but extensive preparations, so that we can use this information to inform our own planning. SIG SWANSTROM is a security consultant and founder of two firearm defense academies. A former Los Angeles area police detective and SWAT team operator, he has had many deadly force encounters. And, he has also experienced numerous tragic disasters. He was on-scene for two deadly earthquakes, as well as the largest volcanic eruption in modern U.S. history. He was first on-scene at the crash of a commercial airliner in a densely populated residential area, and he arrived minutes after a terrorist bombing of a McDonald's restaurant. In addition, he lived in Guatemala for several years during their bloody civil war. During that time, his installation was attacked three times by insurgents. So, his experience is both diverse and extensive. DAVID CRAWFORD's novel 'Lights Out' is a bestseller and one of the top books in its genre. A theatrical movie based on it, 'The Lights Out Saga; Heroes Will Rise' is currently in production. An avid sportsman, Crawford likes to hunt, fish, hike, off-road, and shoot. He is a 4th-degree black belt in karate and teaches self-defense skills to adults and children. He has been involved in relief efforts after a number of major disasters. This book is the first volume in a four-book series. It explains why preparation is so important. Books 2 and 3, focus on evacuation, safe-haven selection, and shelter-in-place. And, the final book in the series which is scheduled for release in 2019, explains how to set up a safe-haven retreat location.
