Making Sense of the Financial Crisis in the Era of Peak Oil - Stoneleigh

Stan Nangle

Nicole Foss, Energy Consultant and Financial Blogger, is visiting Ireland this week, and will present the Feasta Annual Lecture in Dublin on Tuesday night.

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.

Foss, who blogs under the name “Stoneleigh” at the website The Automatic Earth (www.theautomaticearth.blogspot.com), will discuss the many converging factors that are contributing to the multi-faceted predicament we face today, and how individuals can build a “lifeboat” to cope with the difficult years ahead.

In addition to the Feasta Lecture on Tuesday night, Stoneleigh will also be speaking in Cork on Sunday night, Mayo on Monday night, and Kilkenny on Wednesday night.

Good talk. It was a lot like the Dmitry Orlov presentation a while ago. I agree with the remarks that Emer O'Siochru made along the lines that there are still things which central banks could do to improve things and that we shouldn't give up on advocating for those.
