Jeff Rubin, consejero del Ministerio de Finanzas de Ontario y uno de los mayores expertos en energia de Norteamerica, afirma que el origen de la recesion economica no han sido las llamadas hipotecas basura sino el agotamiento del petroleo. Cuando remita la crisis actual afirma el autor- el precio del crudo empezara a aumentar hasta unos niveles sin precedentes. Con un estilo extraordinariamente ameno y accesible, explica a los lectores como hemos llegado a esta situacion y como saldremos de ella: recuperando la fabricacion autoctona, favoreciendo los productos que se cultivan y se producen cerca de casa; es decir, haciendo nuestro mundo mas pequeno. Considerado una de las voces mas autorizadas para hablar del panorama economico en un futuro proximo, Rubin anuncia el fin de la globalizacion; una noticia que, como el mismo reconoce, no tiene por que ser mala. / An internationally renowned energy expert has written a book essential for every Americana galvanizing account of how the rising price and diminishing availability 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. In 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 amount 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 limits, may resemble the distant past.
