Introduction Today’s column and the next three provide a wrap-up commentary of aspects of the Buxton Proposal, which I believe have been somewhat misconstrued; whether by design or otherwise, in various public and private exchanges.
Introduction I began the discussion on the petroleum metrics and finances of the Buxton Proposal by observing that the only material change to the data previously utilized was the computation of Government Take by the IDB in their Technical Note back in August 2020, entitled ‘Traversing a Slippery Slope: Guyana’s Oil Opportunity.’

Introduction As indicated in last week’s column, today’s begins with the reproduction of the list of ten key references to guide inquiring readers who may need further information on the practice of cash transfers as a poverty policy intervention tool.
Introduction In last week’s column I was able to introduce only four of the 11 reasonings, or what I have labelled as the Whys and Wherefores, which lie behind my singling out of a portion of Guyana’s windfall oil revenues for cash transfers to Guyanese households as a singularly effective policy intervention measure against income poverty.

Introduction Today’s column continues my rather extended interrogation cum discussion (over the past several weeks) of the plethora of mis-representations, deceptions, and plain fake news put out ceaselessly in the social and print media by the local and external purveyors of noise and nonsense directed at Guyana’s emergent oil and gas sector.
Introduction Today’s column continues my rather extended interrogation cum discussion (over the past several weeks) of the plethora of mis-representations, deceptions, and plain fake news put out ceaselessly in the social and print media by the local and external purveyors of noise and nonsense directed at Guyana’s emergent oil and gas sector.
Introduction Thus far I have introduced two major metrics in order to illustrate my thesis that the noise and nonsense mis-informers in the social and print media have colluded and connived in generating fake misrepresentations and dated dogma (from four decades ago), in order to portray a relentlessly demoralizing, paralyzing and retrogressive economic narrative of Guyana’s coming time of oil and gas production and sale.
