I bought this book in a second-hand bookstore some time ago, and with the recent tumult in the energy markets, I thought it would be worth a read. It was written in 1974, a year after another war had massively disrupted energy markets, inflation had let rip and geopolitical tensions were high. While maybe only a quarter of the predictions came to pass, it still makes interesting reading as an example of prevailing thought at the time.
