Audio Making Sense of the Financial Crisis in the Era of Peak Oil - mp3 77M

The talk was advertised with the following text:

Peak Oil and the collapse of global Ponzi finance are a “perfect storm” of converging phenomena that threaten to sink our age of prosperity through wealth destruction, social discontent, and global conflict. Nicole will describe how our current financial system is an unsustainable credit bubble grounded in “Ponzi dynamics,” or the logic of the pyramid scheme. She warns that most people are woefully unprepared to face the consequences of the devastating deflation that is now unfolding.

Three missing slides

12.06.2010 20:30

Oops, the first of these slides came between The Inverted Pyramid and Inflation and Deflation.

The second between Interest Rates and the Liquidity Trap and Cash - The Domestic Perspective.

And the third, near the start, between Export Availability and Energy Returned on Energy Invested.
