Synopsis
A barrel of oil contains eleven years of human labor. Eighty dollars. A dinner. No union, no morals, no children. Everything was built on that slave: democracy, rights, middle class, emancipation. The question no one asks is what happens when it yields less. Not when it disappears. When it yields less. What we call progress is not a conquest. It is an invoice. And the surplus to pay it is running out.
Themes explored in this book
An essay on oil, energy surplus and the material foundations of progress, rights and democracy.
