The last days of economic growth

from Life After Oil. This is a book review of a recently released book published in Swedish only; but the review summarize a lot of valuable content which illustrates the inability of capitalist media to cope realistically with the issue of peak oil, just as it can't with any other issue that suggests that economic growth, from a capitalist point of view, must stop. Thus capitalist media coverage of such issues often takes on Orwellian characteristics such as "newspeak".
