Wolf and Iron

I thought you guys might all want to take a look at Wolf and Iron, by Gordon Dickson. Wolf and Iron is interesting because its one of the first novels to posit a post-apocalyptic scenario not based on nuclear or biological warfare, but instead on economic collapse. Personally, I find this scenario less compelling, than say a oil-less world or something like that, but it does make for some interesting reading. The hero essentially treks through America, meanwhile explaining how the American economy collapsed due to its failure to live up to capitalist principles. The novel is absolutely brutal in its depiction of survivalism, and for that alone, it deserves a look. Think of it as a poor man's The Road.
