Interview Question for Investment Banking Summer Analyst at Deutsche Bank:

Energy. While prices of oil will rise to reflect lower supply in the future, that does not mean that there will be enough energy available for economies to grow. Energy is central to economic growth since goods and services cannot be transported and communication cannot be conducted without energy. Right now, we do not have sufficient energy alternatives in places to compensate for growing demand and a future decrease in supply. The best example of a lack of energy supply on economic growth is the Energy Crisis of the 1970s, which heralded in an era of recession and stagflation.
