This is a slide video of the presentation I asked Nate Hagens to give at the Oil Drum/ASPO Conference at Alcatraz, Italy in June 2009. It contains a concise summary of many issues related to depletion, energy supply, human behaviour and the financial system. More background material can be found in the articles by Nate Hagens linked below the fold. The presentation itself can be downloaded here: Umbrella View of Resource Depletion and Human Behaviour, PDF 148 slides, 8.7 MB.
