Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy

A thought-provoking look at Saudi oil, energy security, and the global economic consequences of supply shocks.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they're beautiful or useful. Others are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of books that explored politics, economics, and the forces shaping the modern world. This is one of those books.

Written by Matthew R. Simmons, this influential book examines Saudi Arabia's oil production, global energy security, and the assumptions underpinning international energy markets. Through detailed analysis of production data and long-term trends, Simmons explores the potential consequences of declining oil output and the wider impact on the world economy.

Every book in Dad's collection has been individually photographed and honestly described, so you know exactly what you're buying. If you're interested in energy policy, global economics, geopolitics, or international affairs, this is an insightful and thought-provoking read.

Arya's Approval
Right darlings… this one asks the awkward questions hiding behind the headlines. Energy security, global markets, and what happens when everyone has been making the wrong assumptions. Serious, detailed, and guaranteed to make your brain work a bit harder. I approve.
