| − | With the increasing inflation of the 1960s and the impending US monetary [[Devaluation]] (predicted by [[Harry Browne]] in his 1970 book ''How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation''), as well as the continuing concern with possible nuclear exchanges between the US and the Soviet Union, and the increasing vulnerability of urban centers to supply shortages and other systems failures, a number of primarily conservative and [[Libertarian]] thinkers began suggesting that individual preparations would be wise. Mr. Browne began offering seminars on how to survive a monetary collapse in 1967, with [[Don Stephens]], an architectural design innovator, providing input on how to build and equip a remote survival retreat and providing a copy of his original ''Retreater's Bibliography''(1967) for each seminar participant. | + | With the increasing inflation of the 1960s and the impending US monetary [[Devaluation]] (predicted by Harry Browne in his 1970 book ''How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation''), as well as the continuing concern with possible nuclear exchanges between the US and the Soviet Union, and the increasing vulnerability of urban centers to supply shortages and other systems failures, a number of primarily conservative and [[Libertarian]] thinkers began suggesting that individual preparations would be wise.
