The Tyranny of Oil: The World’s Most Powerful Ind

Antonia Juhasz, author of The Bush Agenda, is a leading activist and expert on corporations and globalization. In The Tyranny of Oil she investigates the true state of the United States oil industry, uncovering its virtually unparalleled influence over our elected officials, its lack or regulatory oversight, and the truth behind $100-a-barrel oil, $3.00-a-gallon gasoline, and the highest profit rates in corporate history. Juhasz offers an immediate call to action-a formula for reigning in the industry, cutting down its governmental powers, environmental destruction, and movement toward war while reducing global dependence on oil. She proposes a viable answer-break up the nation's leading oil companies.
