Tyranny of Oil

Author of "The Tyranny of Oil", Antonia Juhasz, spoke at King's Books in Tacoma not too long ago. I used to live right behind the bookstore, so when she came I recorded the talk, and spiced it up with archived footage and video from oil industry commercials and propaganda. At any rate, I hope you like this 26-minute piece.

• Website for the book, "The Tyranny of Oil"
• Website which Antonia is a contributor, The Oil Drum.

The video footage comes from lots of places, most notably the documentary about Enron, "The Smartest Guys in the Room" - and the PBS Frontline documentary, "Heat". I also used an old VHS program called "Economics USA: Monopolies". Here is a list of the music tracks I used.

• Burial, "Prayer"
• Skream, "Midnight Request Line"
• Greg Merrell, "Clash Valian"
• Benga, "Wobblers"
• N-Type, "Quantum (remix)"
  
• Thomas Felhman, "Feat"
• Skream, "Stagger"
