Routledge Space, Oil and Capital: 42 International Business

Explore the deep connection between natural resources and the global economy in Space, Oil and Capital: 42. Part of the Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy series, this book examines how the historical development of capital has driven an increasing demand for raw materials. As capital concentrates and production of natural resources expands geographically, competition for markets and production control becomes more intense. This text provides both theoretical and empirical explanations of the relationship between oil production and inter-capitalist competition within the global economy. Readers will gain a better understanding of why it is necessary to appreciate the underlying processes of the social and economic landscape. This work is an essential resource for those studying international business, global markets, and the economic impact of resource distribution.
