The epilogue aims to provide an industry perspective, particularly, it provides a glimpse of the future and gives some shape to the context in which resource populism might unfold, in contrast to a retrospective look into the past carried out in the work of the Populism and Natural Resources Workshop. It is argued here that what will set the conditions for, and shape the future of, the market is the price of oil. Conventional wisdom and the experience of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s held that higher prices, if they came about, would result from some short-lived, geopolitically induced spike, and that prices would settle back as supply and demand responded and as the geopolitical event passed or was addressed.

Keywords:   industry perspective, resource populism, price of oil, geopolitically induced spike, supply and demand
