The Energy System: Technology, Economics, Markets, and Policy (Mit Press)

This comprehensive textbook provides a dynamic systems and capital-centric perspective on understanding energy issues, integrating tools from technology, economics, markets, and policy.

It offers a framework for understanding how energy is transformed through a long and capital-intensive supply chain, examining three primary energy subsystems: electricity, transportation, and thermal energy.

The book reintegrates these subsystems and looks at their relation to the economic system and ecosystem, providing practitioners and theorists with necessary tools for analyzing and intervening in the global energy system.

With a focus on both existing processes and potential tools for intervention, this textbook is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex energy system and its impact on modern society.
