The Seven Sisters
This is the history of oil and oil companies. Chapter two open with the words "The American beauty rose can be produced in its entire splendour only by sacrificing the early buds that grow up around it"-John D Rockefeller. There is nothing better that prepares you for what's to come. The statement encapsulates the predatory nature of these oil companies. The books also explains the behind the scenes of how democracy was subverted and sacrificed in countries that were on the way of these companies.
Even truer today-this is American politics 101, Franklin D. Roosevelt is quoted as having said about America: "the trouble with this country is that, you can't win an election without the oil companies, and you can't govern with it."And today all you need to do is add other conglomerates including the military industrial complex. It's the kind of dilemma facing American politician then and now. It also covers how OPEC was formed, the politics and the manoeuvring. It's well researched, very informative and will give an essential history of the black gold. However, the pricing of oil is still as opaque as ever, a follow up book should explore this!
A good read!
