Finance Capital or Corporate Capital
According to Baran and Sweezy, "the larger corporations [have] gradually won more and more independence from both bankers and dominant stockholders, and their policies accordingly [have been] geared to an ever greater extent each to its own interests rather than being subordinated to the interests of a group. We are not of course maintaining that interest groups have disappeared or are no longer of any importance in the United States economy. We …
Harbinger of a New Day
The monolithic mindlessness of the AFL-CIO top brass was rudely disturbed when 523 delegates coming from 50 international unions and scores of district, state, and local federations and unions gathered in Chicago over the November 11 Veterans Day weekend (appropriately) to demand an end to the bombing of North Vietnam and negotiations with the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website,…

World Crisis in Oil
L'Empire du pétrole. Traduit de l'américain
McCarthyism in Mexico
In the great Castle of Chapultepec in Mexico, repository of the nation's history, the Hall of the Revolution is locked. The visitor from abroad—and they come by the tens of thousands every year to view the wonders of Aztec, Mayan, Colonial, and modern Mexico—will save the guide some embarrassment by not asking what is concealed behind the massive locked doors. For inside is the vast mural of the Mexican Revolution, meant to be dedicated on Novemb…
An Interview with General Cárdenas
On the afternoon of Saturday, March 26, we were ushered into the office of Mexico's former President Lazaro Cardenas, a large pleasant room, one side of which was filled with books in Spanish and English, on themes ranging the entire economic, social, and political gamut of 20th-century civilization. Strange—or is it?—for the peasant's son of Jilquilpan who can claim only four years of formal education in a rural school. "I got my education," he …
The Tragedy of Latin American Oil
The international oil companies are cashing in on the economic anguish of Latin America to snuff out the threat to their world dominion posed by the rise of successful nationalized oil enterprises.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Near East Oil, Part I
In Beirut, the financial capital of the Near East, they are speculating on how long the international petroleum cartel may hope to control the fields around the Persian Gulf. Five to ten years is the cartel's expected life, but it could be a lot shorter.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Near East Oil, Part II
The excess funds of the Sheik of Kuwait haunt the Arab world. The $325 million or so a year is all his to enjoy. Munificently, as befits a Moslem prince, he allots a third to his prolific family and another third to his realm, with bizarre results. Cadillacs among the mud huts, air-conditioned palaces amid heaps of rubbish, the most extravagant Western luxuries cheek-by-jowl with Bedouin hunger, do not escape the questioning gaze of a growing min…
Iraq
The royal Iraq government that toppled on Bastille Day, 1958, took no little pride in its achievements. Washington and London basked in the assurance that this Arab satellite was stable and loyal, whatever might be said of Arabia and Jordan. The little King was kept busy in the annual Development Weeks, rushing about the Land Between the Two Rivers opening sluice gates on Tigris and Euphrates dams, cutting ribbons on bridges, turning a golden spa…
The Arab Revolution
The Arab is the latest of the great revolutions of the twentieth century. The Arab people, lost in the backwash of history for centuries, is shaking off fetters, domestic and foreign. The ancient lethargy imposed by sheik and landlord, buttressed in later years by foreign guns and gold, gives way. The Arabs seem again on the verge of an awakening such as carried their banners from Spain to India a thousand years ago and made Baghdad, Damascus, an…
Empire of Oil
Planning a la Creole
The self-glorification of American business enterprise marches ahead in seven-league boots. Never has there been a system so perfect, so admirable. The only trouble is that lots of people don't like it.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Dividends to the Nation
In El Paso, Texas, the motorist pays 32 cents a gallon for gasoline. But if he drives a few hundred yards across the International Bridge to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, he can fill up with 18-cent gasoline. The saving is at least $2 on a tankful.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

Henry Demarest Lloyd
"I am," said Henry Demarest Lloyd, "a socialist-anarchist-communist-individualist-collectivist-cooperative-aristocratic-democrat." In less exuberant moments, the great American social reformer referred to himself as a socialist and a democrat. The two words, he insisted, were synonymous. As he thundered in book, speech, and letter against the iniquities of monopolistic capitalism and painted the glories of a social system animated by love and mut…
What Price Socialism
G. D. H. Cole, the Grand Old Man of British socialism, posing the awkward dilemmas of the world socialist movement, has asked for the creation of a World Order of Socialists. In two articles in The New Statesman and Nation (January 15, 22, 1955), he surveys the ruins of the socialist movement in Western Europe and declares, in effect, that socialism cannot be achieved by parliamentary methods, country by country.This article can also be found at …

Needed
There isn't too much left to cooperate with on the Left. The atomization of the opposition to monopoly has been a howling success. It is partly our own fault. We went whole hog for reform under the New Deal. We helped make America a better country. We helped unionize industry, and we helped the farmers. That is nothing to be ashamed of.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.C…
The CIO at a Dead End
CIO, in its 16th year and after its 13th convention in New York early in November, finds itself up against dead ends at every turn of the road. Nowhere is the dead end more painfully apparent than in the search for leadership. Philip Murray, ageing, iII, and burdened with the problems of the United Steelworkers which he also heads, wants to retire as president of CIO. But all efforts to find a suitable successor have run up against a dead end.Thi…
Venezuela
For Venezuelans, the dread words that wrote themselves on the wall at Belshazzar's feast, "Mene, mene, tekel upharsin," have a special meaning. In the Indian language of that country, "mene" means oil.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

Jamaica
The hurricane of August 17, 1951-the worst in Jamaica's stormwracked history-killed 150, left in its wake property loss of at least $50 million and ruined the banana and coconut crops. The loss in lives and property was trifling, however, commented the London Daily Express, compared with the damage done to Jamaica by the British government.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in fu…
