Neither, read Hall & Klitgaard's new book "Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Understanding the Biophysical Economy". I'd rate it up there with Bienhocker's book; it's a model of readability too.

Please have a quick look at my first blog which involves Oxfam's influence on UK education: http://www.reclaimeducation.com/node/63 I'd love to know your thoughts, please be as critical of me as I am of you! BTW the green is much easier on the eye. I can’t help but compare the 2 dimensional depiction (”hero or vilain”) of Meles with the textured, in-depth portrayal of Robert Chambers.
