"Oil, Dollars, Debt, and Crises: The Global Curse of Black Gold" by Mahmoud A. El-Gamal, Amy Myers Jaffe (Repost)

This book studies the causes of the current oil and global financial crisis and shows how America's and the world's growing dependence on oil has created a repeating pattern of banking, currency, and energy-price crises.

The book shows a more complex picture in which transfers of wealth to and from the Middle East result in a perfect storm of global asset and financial market bubbles, increased unrest, terrorism and geopolitical conflicts, and eventually rising costs for energy.
