1973.

Beyond the war, we’re hacking into the coming implications of the major energy crisis that’s brewing - as the last tankers to leave the Gulf trundle into the ports of Europe.

From Volkswagen to venture capital, we’ll be charting what life looks like with oil at 150 or 200 dollars a barrel.

Energy lockdowns. Rationing. Bond crises.

All of these are being whispered in the press right now. As much as our leaders dare.

But this is still the Ardennes Forest in spring 1940. Eerily quiet.

Soon enough, the flamethrowers will burn through the Old Continent, and then begin to ricochet back onto America itself.

Will this break up the order we once took for granted?

Are we at the end of the US consumption model of economics?

Will resource rich Canada end up speared by its bigger brother?

We’ll be taking a grand view from the sidelines, as we start to figure out how to live through the latest version of the polycrisis - after 2008, after Covid, after Ukraine - this is the next major re-shaping of the world we live in.
