Synopsis

Increasing raw material demand meets raw material shortage. The result: fierce distribution battles. Dennis Meadows predicted in "The Limits of Growth" over 30 years ago that the most important resources on which the highly developed world economy is based will be exhausted in the foreseeable future. Now it is noticeable to everyone: oil and gas prices are rising mainly because the hunger of developed countries and the risers such as China and India is insatiable, but supplies are rapidly dwindling. The same applies to other vital raw materials. With aggressive strategies, competitors try to gain valuable resources advantages. In this current inventory, Spiegel journalists show which world political conflicts develop from this, which countries are among the winners in the future, which are among the losers and what opportunities alternative energies offer, show SPIEGEL journalists in this current inventory that dares to look into the future: into an age of energy conflicts, a new cold war.
