Hello John,
As a concerned Christian citizen, I tackled the problem of peak oil since before it became a google cliche. Many years later, I discovered Yamada’s work in Japan, i.e. how they dealt with their epoch of ‘non-performing’ loans and ensuing financial crisis many years before the West’s crisis. It’s heavy reading, as seen here:

But it provides a new take on the enire TARP business, I think.
Great blog! Keep up the good work!
