Antonia Juhasz, “The Tyranny of Oil”

October 9 at Noon in the SIS lounge

The Tyranny of Oil (HarperCollins 2008) is the first book in decades to investigate the major oil companies and how they shape policy making on the economy, global warming, and war. Antonia Juhasz pulls back the curtain on “big oil,” revealing corporate influence over local, national, and international policy. She is also the co-author, with John Perkins, of A Game As Old As Empire: The Secret World of Economic Hit Men and the Web of Global Corruption (Berrett-Koehler 2007), and The Bu$h Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time (HarperCollins 2006). She is a Fellow with Oil Change International and the Institute for Policy Studies.
