[Peakoil] What If A Collapse Happened And Nobody Noticed?

Some excerpts:


"Imagine if you were the leader of one of the world's major industrial
nations, with millions of people, economies worth trillions, and huge
armies at your command. Now imagine that your top generals and admirals
have briefed you and told you that the fundamental substances underlying
modern industrial civilization were running out. That there would be
shortages. Scarcity.  Resource wars. Dwindling food supplies. Decreased
industrial output. A shrinking tax base. Insurrection. What would you do?
Panic? Or would you do exactly what world leaders are doing right now:
using economic policies to shrink the economy to a lower level and cause a
slow die-off? Claim that "there is no alternative", and that once
"confidence" is restored, things will be back to normal?"

...

"Really, austerity makes no sense otherwise. As Steve Keen put it in a
recent interview, "they think causing an accelerated economic collapse
will make it easier to pay their debts." Indeed. Even some of the world's
most renowned economists have declared such policies insane. If even
Nobel-prize winning economists think it's crazy, then why are governments
doing it? But these economists are in the main, ignorant of Peak Oil,
willingly or unwillingly."
