TYRANNY OF OIL: THE WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL INDUSTRY
Monday, December 14, 8pm

Antonia Juhasz is on the National Advisory Board of Iraq Veterans Against
the War and The (True Cost of) Chevron Program Director at Global Exchange
in San Francisco. She’s the author of The Tyranny of Oil: The World’s Most
Powerful Industry–And What We Must Do To Stop It, just newly released in
paperback, updated with a new preface on Big Oil and the Presidency of
Barack Obama.

Note from Texas Labor Against the War: In 2007, with Ms. Juhasz’ permission, we issued as a pamphlet her excellent NYTimes article, “Whose Oil Is It, Anyway?” which laid out how big oil corporations, aided by the US government, were trying to take over control of Iraq’s oil resources.  This short pamphlet is still available at MonkeyWrench–and Iraqi labor unions are still struggling against the privatization of Iraqi oil.
