This book was written in 2008 and has a generic outlook as well as being highly pertinent to the current credit crunch induced recession. The contents are comprehensive, the style is pacey and punchy, the checklists are practical, the cartoon characters are witty yet sympathetic. In this volume readers can join Oliver Aichbee (Ollie) from a design-based SMC with his colleagues and advisors as they do some thinking and research about a possible recession and then consider over twenty Top Kit Tips which can be adopted or adapted or rejected or confirmed as taking place to form the basis of their bespoke Recession Survival Kit. And readers can do the same. There is a wealth of sensible ideas with explanations, listings, illustrations and a checklist to formulate and prioritise a kit from scratch or confirm that current proposals are on the right lines. Positive SMCs may also use the survival processes to rationalise, refocus or energise partially or wholly. There will be casualties from any recession so that is addressed also. This book is also being promoted through a series of talks and courses using this title and linked to recovery topics which are in development as a separate volume.
