Cultural Economist Report on Oil Depletion
Ronald Cooke of The Cultural Economist has just published a new report on oil depletion:
Of all the issues we confront in the 21st Century, resource depletion promises to have the greatest impact on our economic and cultural destiny. And of our dwindling resources, none will have a greater impact on our future than the decline of oil and natural gas production.

The Report On Oil Depletion is now available as a free document at

This research report provides a comprehensive examination of oil reserves and production, analyzes the economic impact of two alternative oil depletion scenarios, and outlines a set of recommendations to enable a "soft landing".  World oil production and consumption are evaluated by geographic region. This evaluation, along with a projection of how oil depletion could influence inflation, unemployment, economic growth and the price of gas, is presented in multiple tables, charts, and pictures.
