Description

This comprehensive study, originally published in 1996, examines the evolution of United States government policy toward the oil industry across seven decades of transformative change. Beginning with the 1920s and 1930s when domestic production control systems were first established, the book traces how oil import controls developed and subsequently collapsed amid intense competition for economic rents created by government regulation. The author analyses the two major oil crises and the Gulf War crisis, demonstrating how public opinion shaped policy decisions. An in-depth examination of Congressional oil votes spanning the 1950s through 1980s reveals the political forces influencing energy legislation. This volume, part of the Routledge Library Editions series on oil and gas economics, provides essential historical context for understanding modern energy policy, regulatory frameworks, and the intersection of corporate interests with public welfare in the petroleum sector.
