The Rise and Fall of OPEC in the 20th Century

The capitalist world system we live under today has for a long time been fueled in significant part and in a fundamental way by oil. Giuliano Garavini is the author of The Rise and Fall of OPEC in the 20th century. Next week, we'll start with the height of OPEC's power in the 1970s and then cover its fall all the way through to our present fossil-fueled climate crisis.
