This easy-to-read book presents an elementary yet comprehensive introduction to modern energy economics. Mathematical content is kept to a minimum, and advanced numerical concepts are placed in appendices. The two survey chapters are suitable for readers with little or no formal training in economics. Differing greatly from other energy textbooks, the book aims to provide the reader with an informed advantage. Principally intended as a textbook for undergraduate economics students, it can also be used for self-study or as a reference material.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed Reader,
By
This review is from: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF WORLD ENERGY: An Introductory Textbook (World Scientific Series on Energy and Resource Economics) (Paperback)
This is simply an incredibly awful book. His style of writing, at least for this book, is a stream of consciousness riddled with opinion not substantiated by the preceding text itself. Don't waste your time with this. If you want a book on oil and geopolitics, read something by Klare.

Great book,

This review is from: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF WORLD ENERGY: An Introductory Textbook (World Scientific Series on Energy and Resource Economics) (Paperback)
The book is used in our Economics Energy class. The author is very opinionated person but he has a very good point about the topic. He disagrees with the electric deregulation as he supports it with the failure in California deregulation. He also discusses about the nuclear energy potential and supports "The Hubbert Peak Oil Theory". This is a good book to give you an insight of global energy supplied in the future due to the increased in standard living especially in China and India.
