"This was a pretty good, non-alarmist look at the issue of Peak Oil (i.e. it isn't predicting we'll all be killing each other with rocks for canned goods in ten years like, say, James Howard Kunstler). It's a bit disheartening to read that in our lifetime things like affordable long-distance travel (especially by air) and awesome food being shipped from around the world (including, possibly, coffee) will likely become things of the past. On the other hand (if the higher oil prices Rubin and many others are predicting actually come to pass, and it's hard to believe they won't) it could be an opportunity to improve the environment, return to local manufacturing and agriculture, and make cities more livable (i.e. less car-centric)."

"Superb look at oil and its impact on both energy prices and the world market. I have to heartily disagree with some of the other reviews that said "he just keeps saying the same thing over and over": yes, his thesis that the world is about to get a whole lot smaller is the focus, but the author presents several compelling and insightful arguments to back this up. Just like any real-world situation, there are many angles to look at, and this book does a fine job of examining many of these angles, and how they relate. Overall, an excellent and well-thought out book: this is worthwhile reading for anyone. (And for those who complained that he didn't tell them what to do: go figure it out on your own! This book presents a theory about what will likely happen: do some thinking on your own and apply that to your own personal situation!)"

"Economist Jeff Rubin describes the likely consequences of the diminishing supply of oil on our economy that has been built on "cheap" oil. Among other things, he suggests that outsourced manufacturing jobs in some sectors will return to the US as the transportation cost of importing goods rises with rising oil prices. This book is a good supplement to Tom Friedman's thesis that the only real way to solve our problems in the Middle East is to remove ourselves ASAP from having to buy their oil."

"Jeff Rubin sticks to his area of expertise which is both the strength and weakness of this book. He lays out the facts regarding peak oil in a very organized and easily digestible manner and then follows with the likely economic implications. His globalization discussion is very good and he tries hard to keep to his discipline of economics. Nevertheless he lays out why all of the conventional wisdom ideas of globalization are about to end. He suggest how the new world might look but only very generally and defers the social/psychological changes for others to discuss. Good for him.

Everyone who uses energy should read this book."
