previous price decided: at gun barrel, maps drawn by fading British empire made countries ungovernable, imposed dictators during cold war, culture of people of the producers lends itself to exploitation...

Those factors dictated the historical low price. But that started changing early 70s:

They had already started nationalizing their companies, then as a result of Israel put nearby things heated up. Arab population exploded and continue to explode.

Since I am at it:

By late 70's religious leaders discovered that EDUCATION level got higher. The youth may not buy the religion stuff they'd been feeding them down the throat for the past 1200 years.

Exploding population and EDUCATED? The religious powers
got the lower level uneducated to support the radical leaders, keeping the educated in check. Whomever was educated and got a brain left to other countries. Behinf stayed the most poor and uneducated. Those support the fanatics. Iraq, Plaestine and Iran are the typcal example of that

Countries that have lots of moolah They are not disturbed by religion. Moolah buys social peace. GCC, Libya are countries like that.

Countries that provide jobs for the youth also have a more benevolent popualtion. I see this whith the Lebanese, Egypt and Jordan type of Muslins.
