James Leigh, Predrag Vukovic - Beyond Oil Bust
Investigating Oil Economics, Society and Geopolitics

Atlantic, 2011.
Tvrd povez, 144 strane, posveta jednog od autora.

This book is a frank, even stark investigation into the dwindling crude oil supply of “Peak Oil”, and its economics, societal implications and geopolitics. For many this book will be an eye-opener to begin to see the critical point that world civilization is coming to, when increasing scarcity of dwindling oil supplies will push oil prices to new highs, leading to not only oil shortage, but energy shortage across the board. According to “The Olduvai Theory” this will have dire implications for the quintessential energy of our modern economies—electricity. Actually without oil we will not have electricity and that critical link, realized only by a few, will become abundantly clear in the book. In these dramatic developments there will be serious economic, political, societal and geopolitical ramifications. Our civilizations will become paralyzed leading to full scale military conflict. Out of this axial period of human civilization a new society—reorganized with enlightened human attitudes—will have to arise if humans are to avoid universal cataclysm. This book is vital reading to understand the portent of current trends associated with oil supply and demand. If we are right, we should all be prepared for the years ahead, with dramatic world events, to drastically change both our civilization and our own lives.
