The new book by the famous Russian economist, politician and publicist Mikhail Delyagin is dedicated to life in an era of change. The crisis that experts have been talking about for so many years has finally arrived. What should an ordinary Russian citizen do and how to live in the conditions of a collapsing economy, a tightening of the political regime and endless quarantine? The author, proving the maxim “a talented person is talented in everything,” wrote, in essence, a comprehensive book on survival for the era of global depression. What to do if you get sick, lose your job, want to save your meager (or abundant) finances, if you need to avoid close acquaintance with debt collectors or raise children capable of succeeding in the “brave new world” of digitalization and universal surveillance, how to save your family and protect yourself from crime?
