The Color of Oil : The History, the Money and the Politics of the World's Biggest Business
Editorial Reviews
Douglas Perret Star, Journalism Professor at Texas A&M University
This book has vastly more impact on world commerce than columnists like Buckley, Goodman and Safire.
Book Description
The primary colors of oil today are money (lots of it), technology (basic but demanding) and people (special ones). The colors of the rainbow can be seen in the 100+ oil producing countries. There are a dozen large petroleum producing and exporting countries. Yet most have little in their history that links them to wealth, technology and management. Corruption among the elite and governments, mismanagement and the squandering of the petroleum wealth are endemic. Culture is everything, and no other human endeavor makes this as pointedly obvious as the world of petroleum.
