Daniel Yergin Boeken

Now with a new epilogue that speaks directly to the current energy crisis, "The Prize" recounts the panoramic history of the world's most important resource: oil. Daniel Yergin's timeless book chronicles the struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades and that continues to fuel global rivalries, shake the world economy, and transform the destiny of men and nations. This updated edition categorically proves the unwavering significance of oil throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first by tracing economic and political clashes over precious "black gold." With his far-reaching insight and in-depth research, Yergin is uniquely positioned to address the present battle over energy, which undoubtedly ranks as one of the most vital issues of our time. The canvas of his narrative history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm, and now both the Iraq War and climate change. The definitive work on the subject of oil, "The Prize" is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement, and great value -- crucial to our understanding of world politics and the economy today -- and tomorrow.

This sequel to The Prize provides a narrative of global energy, the principal engine of geopolitical and economic change

A master storyteller as well as a leading energy expert, Daniel Yergin continues the riveting story begun in his Pulitzer Prizewinning book, The Prize. In The Quest, Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of global, political, and economic change and conflict, in a story that spans the energies on which our civilization has been built and the new energies that are competing to replace them.

A new type of Cold War is emerging between China and the West. The global order is being simultaneously shaken by climate change and the shale revolution in oil and gas - and now by the coronavirus. Controversial fracking technology has given America unprecedented leverage as the world's leading energy powerhouse, ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia, upending the chessboard of global politics and changing the psychology of the global economy. Russia is pivoting east toward China as they lay claim to almost all of the South China Sea, one of the world's most critical trade routes. Elsewhere, the map of the Middle East created after World War I is being attacked by ISIS and Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Oil producers now fear that peak demand for oil is coming as renewable energy vies with fossil fuels. The New Map tells a sweeping story about how the role of energy in climate change is shaping geopolitical discussions, challenging our industries and our lifestyles, and accelerating a second energy revolution - the quest for renewables.

The book offers an insightful analysis of the evolving dynamics between government influence and free market forces in the global economy. It highlights the emerging risks and opportunities that arise from this shifting balance of power, drawing on the expertise of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and a leading market expert. Accompanied by photographs, the work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of contemporary economic challenges and prospects.

A look at the shift of assets from central governments to private enterprise in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East analyzes how such changes as deregulation and privatization will affect economic power in the world.

Drawing on interviews with heads of state and CEOs worldwide, The Commanding Heights is a revealing, in-depth investigation of how the upheavals of the last 20 years -- including China's entrance into world markets and increased deregulation and privatization -- have radically transformed our world and what these changes portend for the future.

Zdobywca nagrody Pulitzera ujawnia, w jaki sposób bitwy klimatyczne i rewolucje energetyczne definiują mapę naszej przyszłości Między Chinami a Zachodem rodzi się nowy rodzaj zimnej wojny. Światowy porządek jest zakłócany przez zmiany klimatyczne, rewolucję łupkową w ropie i gazie, a teraz przez koronawirusa. Kontrowersyjna technologia szczelinowania dała Ameryce bezprecedensową przewagę jako wiodącej potędze energetycznej świata, wyprzedzając Arabię Saudyjską i Rosję, wywracając szachownicę globalnej polityki i zmieniając kierunek globalnej gospodarki. Pomimo sankcji, Rosja kieruje się na wschód w stronę Chin. Władimir Putin i Xi Jinping jednoczą siły, aby rzucić wyzwanie Ameryce i przejąć kontrolę nad Morzem Południowochińskim – jednym z najważniejszych szlaków handlowych świata. Mapa Bliskiego Wschodu stworzona po I wojnie światowej jest zagrożona przez ISIS i irańskich Strażników Rewolucji. Region ten zmaga się z załamaniem cen ropy naftowej spowodowanym wzrostem cen łupków. Producenci, od Bliskiego Wschodu po zarządy firm na całym świecie, obawiają się, że nadchodzi szczyt zapotrzebowania na ropę, ponieważ energia odnawialna zaciekle rywalizuje z paliwami kopalnymi.
