Book review: Taking Jeff Rubin to task | After Hours | Think About This | Canadian Business Online - http://www.canadianbusiness.com/after_h...
"What's the long-term impact of high-priced oil? Rubin says it will spur manufacturing to return to North America and shrink the service sector. We're going to go back to "actually making things," he says, but the transition won't be easy because the infrastructure, technology, training and culture required for it will have to be massively overhauled. Food will be sourced locally — no more lamb from New Zealand and pineapples from Hawaii. Farms will make a big comeback. But it's going to be more expensive. Additionally, the suburbs will depopulate and airlines will go bankrupt." - A.T. from Bookmarklet
