THE NEXT GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS: Oil Shocks, Geopolitics, and the Economic Battle for Energy Security
About this ebook
From the oil shocks of the 1970s to the fragile energy markets of today, modern societies remain deeply dependent on reliable access to oil and natural gas. Yet the global energy system is built on vulnerable infrastructure, strategic shipping routes, and geopolitical relationships that can shift overnight.
In The Next Global Energy Crisis, financial analyst Carl Vincent Sutton delivers a clear and compelling examination of how energy disruptions can trigger global economic turmoil.
This book explains how regional conflicts, supply disruptions, and geopolitical tensions can ripple through the global economy—affecting everything from fuel prices and industrial production to inflation, financial markets, and geopolitical stability.
Drawing on historical case studies and modern energy economics, Sutton reveals how energy shocks propagate through global supply chains and financial systems, influencing industries, governments, and everyday consumers.

From Asia’s growing energy demand to Europe’s evolving energy policies and the strategic role of global energy exporters, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the forces shaping the future of energy security.
For investors, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone concerned about the stability of the global economy, The Next Global Energy Crisis provides essential insights into one of the most important economic challenges of our time.
