How Saudi Arabia Turned Oil Into Trillions — And What Happens If It Runs Out?

Описание: Saudi Arabia was once one of the poorest regions in the world. No infrastructure. No industry. Almost no money. Then in 1938, oil changed everything.

But this isn’t just a story about black gold.

This video breaks down how Saudi Arabia transformed vast oil reserves into one of the most powerful economic systems on Earth. From the discovery of oil at Dammam Well No. 7 to the rise of Saudi Aramco, from the creation of the petrodollar system to the strategic alliance with the United States, we unpack the real financial engine behind the kingdom’s wealth.

You’ll learn:

• Why Saudi oil is among the cheapest in the world to produce
• How pricing oil in U.S. dollars reshaped global finance
• How oil revenues built a tax-free welfare state
• Why population growth created economic pressure
• What Public Investment Fund is doing with hundreds of billions of dollars
• How Vision 2030 aims to reduce dependence on crude exports
• And the uncomfortable math behind the country’s future

We also explore the tension between climate transition and oil profits, the role of OPEC in managing supply, and why the same system that made Saudi Arabia rich could become its biggest vulnerability.

This is not a simple oil story.
It’s a story about power, finance, geopolitics, and risk.

Because the real question isn’t how Saudi Arabia got rich.

It’s whether that model can survive the century ahead.
