good book that exposes the fundamental ideas and new

Very interesting book that exposes the idea that our GDP is a function qq kind of fossil energy and thus explains our increase in purchasing power by the lower cost of energy. The book thus applies energy balances of several areas of human activity and draws conclusions. A kind of thermodynamic 'of the economy.
The book is unfortunately served in my opinion by a little style 'schoolboy' with great cynicism, sarcasm and humor. Paradoxically this makes reading more difficult because the ideas being new is not always evident to distinguish things. Furthermore, the bias of not putting visuals is incomprehensible, sometimes a scheme bcp has more impact than a long sentence ... In resumé, the book's content is so rich and interesting that he would deserve better support. It is however true that the authors are spending bcp Energy has promouvoirs their ideas differently (on social networks and via conferences).
