Solidarity At The Pump A Proposal for the Oil Exporting Nations of the Third World
Globalizing the Economy: The Influence of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank
In this talk I want to focus on three issues. The first is the relationship between globalization and the nation state. The second is the relationship between the nation states of the world on the one hand and the IMF and World Bank on the other. The third is the historical context of globalization, and in particular its development within a long period of economic stagnation.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where mos…
The International Oil Industry: Recent Changes and their Implications for Mexico
A number of interrelated changes in the five years since the Cold War ended have had a negative impact on Third World oil producers. First, the continuing stagnation of the world economy and the shift toward other energy sources have slowed the growth in demand for oil products. Second, the Communist bloc, which once offered material support for Third World countries trying to develop their own oil resources, has collapsed. Third, this collapse h…
Facing the Oil Giants: Labor Bargaining in the 1990s
Now I'd like to turn to the energy and oil industries. On the demand side, as always, a serious recession like the present one means stagnant demand for energy and oil. In the last three years, overall U.S. energy consumption has increased by less than half a percent a year, while oil consumption has actually decreased at about the same rate.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in …
After Rio
What I shall do today is first to give a very brief report on the Rio conference, which I attended as a correspondent for Monthly Review and the Bulletin of the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union. Then I want to locate the Earth Summit within the context of an international capitalism that is stagnating and discuss the factors which have given rise to its stagnation. Finally, I shall suggest how the future of the world economy will affect th…
Oil and the Persian Gulf Crisis
It is well known by now that the CIA directed the overthrow of the Mossadeq government in Iran after it dared to nationalize the oil industry in the early 1950s. But it is less well known that when a military group overthrew the feudal monarchy in Iraq in the summer of 1958 and the entire Middle East was in ferment, the landings of U.S. troops in Lebanon and British paratroopers in Jordan were really targeted at Iraq. The New York Herald Tribune …

Opec's Decade: Has It Made a Difference
No one can deny that the past ten years have witnessed great changes in the international oil industry. A decade ago, the largest international oil companies—Exxon, Shell, British Petroleum, Texaco, Standard Oil of California, Mobil, and Gulf—still dominated the industry in virtually every respect. In 1972, these companies accounted for three fifths of the noncommunist world's production of crude oil and refined products, and similar shares of tr…
Stealing the Third World's Nonrenewable Resources: Lessons from Brazil
In a recent Monthly Review article ("New Light on Dependency and Dependent Development," January 1983) Arthur MacEwan noted that while "Marxists have often argued that economic development would not take place in the capitalist periphery," in fact over the last few decades "in certain parts of the periphery capitalism was attaining some undeniable successes, at least in terms of economic growth and a degree of industrialization." And, as MacEwan …
Opec'S Decade: Has It Made a Difference
No one can deny that the past ten years have witnessed great changes in the international oil industry. A decade ago, the seven largest international oil companies—Exxon, Shell, British Petroleum, Texaco, Standard Oil of California, Mobil, and Gulf—still dominated the industry in virtually every respect. In 1972, these seven companies accounted for three fifths of the noncommunist world's production of crude oil and refined products, and similar …

The State and the Oil Industry in Today's World: Some Lessons for Puerto Rico
This paper deals with a topic on which I have written and worked for many years as an economic consultant to governments of underdeveloped countries and states in the United States. This topic has enormous implications for the future of many underdeveloped countries, and not least for Puerto Rico. Accordingly, the focal point will be the potential and actual role of governments of underdeveloped countries in the area of oil exploration and develo…
Even Moutains Are Moved; Reply by Harry Magdoff; Should MR Broaden Its Scope
The analyses of the dynamics of capitalist imperialism laid out by Harry Magdoff ("How to Make a Molehill Out of a Mountain," MR, March 1977) and by myself are, as I pointed out in my original article (in the section entitled "What Amin, Baran, Frank, Magdoff, et al. Really Show" [The Insurgent Sociologist, Spring 1977]), essentially the same. That this is in fact the case is underlined by Magdoff's self-quotation in his rejoinder to me. He state…

State and Local Government Debt in the Postwar Period
ONE of the most important developments in public finance in the post-World War II period has been the great growth of state and local government debt. From a level of $15,900,000,000 in fiscal 1946, state and local government gross debt outstanding has more than quadrupled, to $69,800,000,000 in fiscal 1960.' This study is concerned with the factors affecting the volume and timing of state and local government new debt issues.2 An attempt is made…
