As the world faces an energy crisis of unprecedented scope, renowed economist Stephen Leeb shows how surging oil prices will contribute to an economic collapse. With meticulous research and analysis, Leeb shows that due to strong competition from India and China, prices could soon double, a cost for which most countries and investors are ill-prepared. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Leeb not only shows how this crisis will affect consumers, but how savvy investing can turn these dire times into financial gain. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ReviewThis book predicted the housing collapse, the credit crunch and the problems we are having with gas and gas guzzlers Rating: - GoodI thought this book had some really good ideas on how to evaluate the level of economic stress from ongoing oil shortages, and offered some good thoughts on how take advantage of oil depletion.

Also, good book format and interior makes it an easy read. Most of these oil books are boring, but this seems to keep the readers attention. Hope this review helps. Rating: - Great advice when publishedI read this book when it came out in hardback a few years back. It was great advice then, but I am not sure if I would recommend it now. It may be too late to take advantage of the advice, most of which has already come true. |
