Descripción del artículo del vendedor

304 pages. An internationally renowned energy expert has written a book essential for ev ery American?a galvanizing account of how the rising price and diminishing avail ability of oil are going to radically change our lives. Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller is a powerful and provocative book that explores what the new global economy will look like and what it will mean for all of us. n nI n a compelling and accessible style, Jeff Rubin reveals that despite the recent recessionary dip, oil prices will skyrocket again once the economy recovers. The fact is, worldwide oil reserves are disappearing for good. Consequently, the am ount of food and other goods we get from abroad will be curtailed; long-distance driving will become a luxury and international travel rare. Globalization as we know it will reverse. The near future will be a time that, in its physical limi ts, may resemble the distant past. n nBut Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller is a hopeful work about how we can benefit?personally, politically, and economically?from this new reality. American industries such as steel and a griculture, for instance, will be revitalized. As well, Rubin prescribes priorit ies for President Obama and other leaders, from imposing carbon tariffs that wil l increase competition and productivity, to investing in mass transit instead of car-clogged highways, to forging ?green? alliances between labor and management that will be good for both business and the air we breathe. n nMost passionatel y, Rubin recommends ways every citizen can secure this better life for himself, actions that will end our enslavement to chain-store taste and strengthen our co mmunities and timeless human values.…
