摘要：I was living in Kazakstan just after the fall of the Soviet Union. The economy was in recession with many unemployed workers, I had to wear a parka while teaching class because the city heating system didn’t provide any heat, and a number of cities were on rolling black ons—where you were given only two hours a day of electricity. Admittedly it was a desperate time and a desperate place. Yet when you consider what they had there before the fall and how much they lost, it was astonishing. Now, the world is in the same boat. The high costs of energy will cause a similar fall in the world’s standard of living as we face the biggest oil and energy crisis yet. The Wolf is here.
