It's 1790 All Over Again
Hugo Salinas Price
It was 1790 and the revolutionary National Assembly in Paris was worried.
Complaints were reaching the Assembly from all over France, that business
was stagnant, sales were down, people were without work, and there was a
great scarcity of money.
This was quite natural, because all business slows down when the prevailing
source of Authority is under question. The Bastille prison had been ta... 阅读全帖 |

Its analytic chapter says that the recent spike in oil prices suggest
that the global oil market has entered a period of increased scarcity.
According to the report, the origins of this scarcity can be traced to
the tension between the upward shift in global oil consumption growth
due to fast-growing emerging market economies and supply constraints,
which have led to a downshift in oil supply growth.
The report notes that scarc... 阅读全帖 |
