Presentations
I give talks on the origins and future of innovation and growth in the global economy, providing a unique perspective on why energy reserve discovery and depletion are the basic determinants of our current and future wealth.
Past presentations have been given to the Retirement Income Industry Association in 2012 and 2015, the Chartered Financial Analyst Society of Indianapolis in 2014, and for the Foresight Analysis Nexus workshop on Energy and the Economy in Crans, Switzerland in 2017. In academic settings, I have given invited talks to Duke University, the Gruter Institute, University of Victoria, The Max Planck Institute, and the University of Edinburgh
