The all-encompassing pursuit of energy is shifting as new players vie for pre-eminent purchasing position. The United States is waning as a super power, politically and economically. Russia, China and India broker deals with Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia for raw materials in a move that could propel any one or more of them to new economic status and power.
Or not….
Michael Klare, author of Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet offers a different scenario, one in which the Earth itself is a player in the race for economic power. Join the conversation with Cecil Prescod and myself, Celeste Carey, on January 11 at 8pm on More Talk Radio.
