"U.S. foreign policy decision-making during the 1973 and 1979 energy crises adhere to a “standard” playbook: threaten to use force to protect access to Middle Eastern oil. Given that the presidents in each case – Richard Nixon in 1973 and Jimmy Carter in 1979 – were very different men from opposite poles of the political spectrum, the fact that they ended up in such similar policy terrain is surprising and bears further study. Was oil from the region simply that vital, or were there other dynamics at play? Applying a political psychology lens to analyze these cases in tandem shows that for both presidents, misperception, restrictive advisory systems, and personal stress played pivotal roles. In both cases, American oil scarcity ideology created the erroneous belief that oil was scarce when it was not, while the advisory systems each president constructed conspired with a significant level of mental stress created by multiple, concurrent crises to greatly impede the president’s ability to fully and rationally consider a comprehensive menu of policy alternatives."--Page iv.

This book was released on 2015-10-14. Peak Oil available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In recent years, the concept of “peak oil”—the moment when global oil production peaks and a train of economic, social, and political catastrophes accompany its subsequent decline—has captured the imagination of a surprisingly large number of Americans, ordinary citizens as well as scholars, and created a quiet, yet intense underground movement. In Peak Oil, Matthew Schneider-Mayerson takes readers deep inside the world of “peakists,” showing how their hopes and fears about the postcarbon future led them to prepare for the social breakdown they foresee—all of which are fervently discussed and debated via websites, online forums, videos, and novels. By exploring the worldview of peakists, and the unexpected way that the fear of peak oil and climate change transformed many members of this left-leaning group into survivalists, Schneider-Mayerson builds a larger analysis of the rise of libertarianism, the role of oil in modern life, the political impact of digital technologies, the racial and gender dynamics of post-apocalyptic fantasies, and the social organization of environmental denial.
