"The authors' radical perspective has enabled them to go beyond what has previously been written on oil to ask new questions and propound important new theories. This new perspective, together with the empirical information collected, goes to the heart of both likely trends in oil prices in future, and the manifold impact of huge oil revenues on Third World countries. Essential reading for all those concerned with energy, both within the oil industry and outside, as well as for those interested generally in Third World development." -- From the back cover.
