The Global Race To Fuel The Car Of The Future

In their new book Zoom, Iain Carson and Vijay V. Vaitheeswaran, award-winning correspondents for The Economist, show why and how geopolitical and economic forces are compelling the linked industries of oil and autos to change as never before. Drawing on years of industry research-including dozens of interviews with motor and energy executives and top policymakers, the authors explain how Toyota became the world's largest automaker through innovation and superior performance and why American politicians have for decades failed to address our energy issues and global warming. Zoom co-author Vijay Vaitheeswaran joins Larry Mantle to offer a lucid and visionary portrait of what our energy, environmental and economic future could be.
