Chris Martenson, Ph.D., MBA is an economic researcher and futurist specializing in energy and resource depletion and co-founder of PeakProsperity.com.

Martenson rose to prominence with the launch of his seminal video seminar: The Crash Course which has also been published in book form. In addition to the analysis and commentary he writes for his site PeakProsperity.com, Martenson’s insights are in high demand by the media as well as academic, civic and private organizations around the world, including institutions such as the UN, the UK House of Commons and US State Legislatures.

Martenson’s presentation is part of the Think Differently Forum, which exposes College of Charleston students to a topic in business, politics, international affairs or culture that has societal importance and interest. The Forum represents the minority point of view on that specific topic, challenging the mainstream opinion and assumptions of the campus community. The purpose is to facilitate and inspire open-minded debates among the College of Charleston community.
