    Cello,
    I was wondering if anyone knew of a book detailing how energy dictates economic policy for Governments. I read "End of Oil" by Paul Roberts and he went into aspects of it, but he is not an economist and he just gave an overview of our energy aspects

    Cheers

    Try 'Crude' by Shah

    Not really focused explicitly on Gov Policy, but a good read and it does have a decent bit of Gov Policy in it..

    Naturally it's focused on the US view to the Oil situation

    I'm about a third of the way through the same book. Its very economics-lite alright. Are you talking about how movements in the oil market might effect things like employment or transport policy?

    Can't think of anything off the top of my head but I'd suggest looking up a boring old economics text book to see what you can find (see especially cost push inflation and any accounts of the 70s oil crises)

    The council on foreign relations in the US has just issued a 70page report on energy issues for the US gov. , you should be able to google it.
