World Oil Fact and Policy
Angebote / Angebote:
World Oil Fact and Policy, a brilliant book published in 1944, delivers a deep exploration and disciplined examination of domestic and foreign petroleum resources, their import to United States energy and security policy during World War II, and their capacity to act as a civilizing catalyst for postwar prosperity and peace.
The authors methodically make the case that world wars are both fought for and fueled by oil, that "oil shortage" scares are based upon projections of "proved reserves" and not real reserves or resources, and that Alaskan oil prospects could radically reduce future reliance on foreign resources.
The authors also divulge dynamic details of the British-American Petroleum Agreement, a nascent bilateral agreement signed by both governments in 1944, albeit never ratified by the United States Senate.
This remarkable book is a must-have addition to any archive and a must-read adjunct for any authority in academia, industry, or government. Read now and share with others. The rich research is as predictive and profound today as it was practically a century ago.
