| Mar 16, 2018 at 21:38 | comment | added | jpmc26 | The OP seemed to be particularly interested in drawing historical parallels to modern oil booms. However, there seems (at least at the surface level) to be an important difference: Africa was largely conquered and plundered (at least according to this answer), while modern oil states are at least nominally allowed to run themselves, with today's super powers buying from them. How much does this limit our ability to learn lessons applicable to our modern predicament? | |
