While reading “The New Second World” I followed the link about the 1973 oil crisis, which I found interesting. It also raised the question about the price of oil currently and what the impact is on the economies selling the oil. While it’s great that I’m paying less than 2 dollars a gallon for gas it seems that it is having and affect on the economy. I still wonder when they are going to go back up. I found this interesting read in my search. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/business/energy-environment/oil-prices.html
