Hi, I’m Jay Greathouse, Autonomous Economist, and I write Raw Materials Econ to help people understand these uncertain times. In 2001, at the University of Hawaii on Maui, I began to help other people deal with the sometimes overwhelming prospect of starting an online business. Prior to teaching in Hawaii I worked in advertising, marketing and public relations for over 30 years.
Resilience means the capacity of an entity–such as a person, an institution, or a system–to withstand sudden, unexpected shocks, and (ideally) to be capable of recovering quickly afterward. Resilience implies both strength and flexibility; a resilient structure would bend, but would be hard to break.
