Abstract: | The intent of this book is to provide the tools to understand more fully, not only political economy of energy, but of everyday life, of work and leisure, wages and prices, unemployment and consumption. It should help the reader to see through pronouncements of governments, business and right-wing policy institutes supporting cuts to unemployment insurance, privatizing education and tax cuts for the wealthy. |
