    What is the Right Price for Oil? London, UK - 8th June 2008, 23:30 GMT  Dear ATCA Colleagues [Please note that the views presented by individual contributors 
      are not necessarily representative of the views of ATCA, which is neutral. 
      ATCA conducts collective Socratic dialogue on global opportunities and threats.] Oil prices staged their biggest one day advance on record 
      to reach an all-time high of almost USD 140 on Friday. The global economy 
      is facing a complex challenge, the nature and scale of which are quite unprecedented, 
      possibly since the beginning of the industrial revolution. It is incumbent 
      on distinguished ATCA members to nurture the Socratic Dialogue on this vital 
      subject from first principles and not jump to hasty conclusions and simplistic 
      remedies.
