Description
* THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * ''Another masterpiece from one of my favorite authors . . . If you want a brief but thorough education in numeric thinking about many of the fundamental forces that shape human life, this is the book to read. It''s a tour de force'' BILL GATES __________ We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don''t know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts. In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn''t inevitable and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. Drawing on the latest science and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead? __________ ''Very informative and eye-opening in many ways'' HA-JOON CHANG, author of 23 Things They Don''t Tell You About Capitalism ''If you are anxious about the future, and infuriated that we aren''t doing enough about it, please read this book'' PAUL COLLIER, author of The Future of Capitalism
