Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be

Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be Nasty, Brutish, and Short
- Used Book in Good Condition
Baby boomers enjoyed the most benign period in human history: fifty years of relative peace, cheap energy, plentiful grain supply, and a warming climate due to the highest solar activity for 8,000 years. The party is overÂ—prepare for the twilight of abundance.

David Archibald reveals the grim future the world faces on its current trajectory: massive fuel shortages, the bloodiest warfare in human history, a global starvation crisis, and a rapidly cooling planet. Archibald combines pioneering science with keen economic knowledge to predict the global disasters that could destroy civilization as we know itÂ—disasters that are waiting just around the corner.

But thereâ€™s good news, too: We can have a good future if we prepare for it. Advanced, civilized countries can have a permanently high standard of living if they choose to invest in the technologies that will get them there. Archibald, a climate scientist as well as an inventor and a financial specialist, explains which scientific breakthroughs can save civilization in the coming crisisÂ—if we can cut through the special interest opposition to these innovations and allow free markets to flourish.
