Abstract:
The “Oil Twilight” is a book that deserves to be read for the convincing demonstration it provides on how fragile are the foundations of the globalized economy, and how short is the remaining time to the dollar supremacy and to the political - economic order that depends on it to keep its worldwide hegemony.
With the same strategic sensitivity that made the author, in 1965, to create the companies that implemented the state telecommunications systems of the Amazon area, Mauro Porto now examines the consequences of the energy crisis that is already undermining the foundations of the industrial civilization we live in, and its reflection on Brazil.
It is a book designed to prepare managers, entrepreneurs and the general public for the difficult times looming ahead, an unexpected reversal of expectations after the unlimited prospects brought on by the extraordinary advances of the past 100 years.
