{"product_id":"twilight-of-abundance-david-archibald-9781621571582","title":"Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be Nasty, Brutish, and Short","description":"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 over--prepare for the twilight of abundance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid 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 it--disasters that are waiting just around the corner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut there'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 crisis--if we can cut through the special interest opposition to these innovations and allow free markets to flourish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Archibald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621571580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621571582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"David Archibald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199126327551,"sku":"9781621571582","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_786d5340-6b41-42d2-8bc9-f9711e1a42e1.jpg?v=1727925118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twilight-of-abundance-david-archibald-9781621571582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
