Insecure Gulf
The subtitle is The End of Certainty and the Transition to the Post-Oil Era. The author is Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, deputy director of the Kuwait Research Program on Development, Governance, and Globalization in the Gulf States, based at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Ulrichson takes the present day oil-rich conditions, and imagines what they may mean sometime in the future when the oil resources are depleted and the world is making a transition to a non-oil based economy.

The oil resources day-by-day are consumed and people have to think one step ahead of the situation for their alternatives.
It can't work as a matter of fact, that is what I consider.
