DEVELOPING BREAKDOWN

"Oil is the most important artifact in an industrial society. When things go wrong having to do with oil, that very possibly spells the end of the industrial experiment for a while ... The Soviet Union was an oil-exporter, the United States is an oil-importer. So the Soviet Union was destroyed by low oil prices, the United States is going to be destroyed by high oil prices ... This is the only financial system that this country will ever have. Once this one falls down, that will be it."
