Introduction
In an earlier column, January 16, I had intimated that this ongoing series of columns, which I have been pursuing could well turn out to be, frankly, an overly ambitious task. If truth be told, in effect I am seeking to construct a credible social science-based formulation, which hopefully provides insight, and thus aids my readership’s appreciation of the complex occurrences which have been manifested thus far in the explosive growth of Guyana’s oil and gas sector. Previously, I had described this task “as seeking: to advance a working hypothesis … that provides a … reasoned construct which correctly expresses the ruling or governing dynamic that … captures the unprecedented historical emergence of Guyana’s world- class petroleum industry.”
