In this insightful talk with economists and author Jeff Rubin, he describe why the world is about to get a whole lot smaller. He explains that oil prices are going to become a lot more expensive, which means that traveling longer distances will not be as affordable as they have been currently, and, literally, people’s worlds will shrink in that they won’t be able to do the same amount of traveling they once could in the past.
