How the World Really Works

This is a bit technical, and more or less goes over how complicated things are, in actual economic / industrial terms and how changing that (which produces greenhouse gasses and global warming) is a damned difficult thing to do.

For someone like Bill Gates, who recommends this book, it may be useful as it points out where innovation can and should be, and therefore where to make helpful (and profitable) investments. For the rest of us without venture funds, it is downright disheartening.

For me personally, it means I need to look at where to go and how to live to mitigate as much of the coming impact of global warming, for me and my family, and successive generations. Hunker down, boys and girls.
