Description

Explore the paradox at the heart of modern industrial civilisation in this compelling analysis from Routledge. For over fifty years, despite credible warnings of petroleum depletion since the 1950s, contemporary society has failed to adequately address peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production. This book examines why a culture dedicated to problem-solving has repeatedly overlooked the existential threat posed by petroleum dependency across every economic sector. Through the lens of psychology and applied clinical perspectives, the author investigates the psychological barriers preventing meaningful responses to energy depletion and explores what the transition away from fossil fuels means for human behaviour, progress narratives, and civilisation itself.

Key Features

Examines the fifty-year gap between peak oil warnings in the 1950s and inadequate societal response to petroleum depletion.

Applies psychological and clinical analysis to understand why problem-solving cultures fail to address existential economic threats.

Explores the dependency of every economic sector on petroleum-based transport and the implications of energy transition.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in health, family, lifestyle and applied psychology subjects.
