After the bursting of the real-estate bubble, the US pushed a monetary and fiscal policy that is, at best, blatantly wrong, and, at worst, carries enormous financial risk. And because Washington knows this, America's greatest weapon - its propaganda machine - has been called into service, diverting attention away from the fact that it was and continues to be government interference in the market economy that's lead us to where we are now, namely at the end of one financial calamity and the beginning of yet another.

We have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there's no stopping it.

This book is designed to unravel the tangled threads of that story.

For et par hundrede år siden sker der noget afgørende i menneskets historie. Lige pludselig bliver vores levealder fordoblet og velstanden stiger eksplosivt. Op til da levede de fleste mennesker gennem tusindvis af år et liv, der kunne sammenlignes med deres forfædre. En landmand i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede havde stort set samme levevilkår som en egyptisk landmand for 5.000 år siden eller en hyrde i Jeriko for 11.000 siden.
