This work examines and reports on the development of industrial control in the petroleum industry. Originally commissioned as a report on The National Recovery Act's effects on the industry, the book's scope was broadened due to the termination of the NRA, and covers "many of the urgent issues which the eclipse of competition has posed for this generation" as well as the history of the oil industry and regulation efforts.
