Summary and recommendations
N2  - "The study demonstrates what many of us have long suspected: there is a hard core of joint action and control in the oil industry surrounded at its periphery by semi-independent fiefdoms which offer a somewhat deceptive patina of truly independent competition. The study reveals the multiple ties within the oil industry, in what may be a flagrant disregard of the spirit and specific application of the antitrust laws. Furthermore, the study spotlights the harmony in which the oil industry operates - and puts the harsh light of disclosure on the industry's policy of acquiring competing forms of energy." -- From the foreword
