Jeff Rubin tickets are now on sale!

WordFest is proud to present Jeff Rubin, renowned economist and energy expert, on June 2 at 6:00pm at the Central Library, John Dutton Theatre. Rubin was one of the first economists to accurately predict soaring oil prices back in 2000 and is now one of the world’s most sought-after energy experts. Rubin has toured the United States talking about the financial crisis. His book, Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller (Random House), hits stands in May.

Why Your World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller is a ground-breaking assessment of the future of the global economy in a world where “cheap energy” is a thing of the past by the economist who was the first to predict triple-digit oil prices (and they said he was crazy).

Tickets are $20 in advance and are now on sale through WordFest at 403.237.9068.
