- Synopsis
- This is a paperbound edition of a 2007 book. Journalist Margonelli unpacks the global political economy of petroleum by interviewing a diverse range of people around the world involved in and impacted by oil, including gas station owners, commodity traders, managers of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and refinery and drilling rig workers. In addition to describing the path of gasoline from under the ground to the tank of an automobile, she offers chapters that explore the oil politics of Venezuela, Chad, Iran, Nigeria, and China.
