The Automatic Earth

For the past decade, the <a href="https://www.theautomaticearth.com/" target="_blank">Automatic Earth</a> has helped its readers understand the Venn diagram where finance, energy and ecology overlap. We realized even longer ago that mankind is on track to both create and encounter crises for which we at present are often not even asking the right questions, let alone providing solutions. 

Each field is difficult enough on its own, and beset with false paradigms. Finance people are struggling to understand finance problems, those who work in energy and ecological issues have a hard time even defining what they are. But these problems are integrated, and we won’t survive as a civilization if we try to find solutions to them in isolation. 

The <a href="https://www.theautomaticearth.com/">Automatic Earth</a> was founded to help people escape from the maze, not by solving any one problem, but by giving a view of these interrelated problems from above the maze. 

Our integrated view let us predict the financial crisis in 2008, when conventional finance was telling us the enjoy the Great Moderation. We also have a long track history in energy and ecological topics. 

Researching and providing our holistic view is a full-time job, and we need your help to do it. Become a patron, support us financially, and help us provide the integrated vision that is the only way we’ll solve humanity’s and the planet’s problems together. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.theautomaticearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Venn-diagram400.jpg"> </div>

If $1 is all you can spare and you still want the biggest possible picture every day, that's alright. We''re here for you too.

Thanks!

Not a bad deal at all. $36 a year for information that you can turn into much more than that, or that you can simply use to understand the world when your usual sources only do opinion, not news

Thanks a lot!

$5 looks like something you must have available

Solid amount

$10 a year sounds very reasonable if you can comfortably feed your kids today but you feel the need to look behind the curtain to increase the odds that you can still feed them tomorrow too

Merci beaucoup! Très gentil!

Now we arrive at a level where you express trust in us, as well as your desire to really grasp what tomorrow will bring, in economics, energy and planet earth. Well done!

Mille grazie! You're a true friend!

This is the level where you know you can trust us, and you are well provided for, but there's still a nagging feeling that you better see our interpretation of the news, to save you from your own blind spots

You're so kind! Forever yours!

For $100 a month or more, a simple question: we already had a few people donating at that level before we joined Patreon. Do you think people who can afford that kind of effort were wrong all along?
