Summary

We are at the edge, not the end, of history. The world is reaching its limits and is at war over the critical natural resources that define them. The economy, everyone and everything depends on energy, as well as the minerals and water needed to generate it. Everyone depends on food, which is being cut off by conflict over it. Competition for, and relentless consumption of, natural resources is manifesting itself on the global stage in the form of geopolitical conflict and climate change. 'The Edge' seeks to explain 'why' the world is facing so many of the challenges ahead of it today, to ask 'so what', in terms of the implications for individuals, society and the planet, and what we can do about it.
