Overview: the three best books of the oil market
Complicated
to overestimate the role of oil in modern
the world economy. The oil crises and
years of prosperity, conflict and cartels
the ups and downs - it's all very
fascinating history of the last half
hundreds of years. And that alone is worth the modern
analyst, in which respected authors
confidently expound
diametrically opposite points
view! It is happening in the markets
Once global oil coup,
therefore a small selection of the best in the
World of books about journalism and about the oil
the market of "black gold" have, according to
In my humble opinion, as well as possible
by the way.
Daniel
Yergin. "Extraction. World history of struggle
for Oil, Money and Power ".
This
canonical work - probably the best of
that has ever been written about
oil. "Mining" have to be
on the shelf of every self-respecting player
market economist, trader, analyst.
And if you trade futures
oil - you just run and shows
read Yergin. The fundamental
study oil industry since the
its beginnings up to the beginning
nineties, when the oil is already hard rule
world, overthrowing the government and being
one of the major geopolitical
resources.
overall
look at the history of the industrial
civilization in the world struggle for oil -
that's what the "Extraction".
AT
1992 this work won a Pulitzer
Award, and its author, Daniel Yergin - expert
world-class in the field of energy,
International Politics and Economics.
AT
book describes the whole development of the oil
industry since the mid XIX century.
The three main topics covered
"Production" - is:
history
the development of capitalism and the modern
business, which is very good
the percentage is based on oil;role
"Black gold" in the way of the country and
States shall take the global
strategic decisions - in particular,
unleash war. At the moment, the war
in Iraq 90 - a tip of the iceberg. there is
Direct linkages to energy and
Japanese-American War, and even in
Germany's attack on the Soviet Union;sociological
and philosophical analysis of how
much of our consumer society
It depends on energy and in particular
- from a hydrocarbon fuel.
Book
versatile, clever, full and very, very
big: it has more 900 pages. but
she read in one breath -
It affects the author's talent, and skill
translators and editors. In short, if
you want to understand the market of oil - running
for the "production"!
Michael
Economides, Ronald Olin. "The color of the oil.
The world's largest business history,
money and politics. "
Book
also tells about the history and nature
oil markets. I personally caught
it is not so much completeness and clarity
(After the "Prey" I is not much you can
surprise), but an interesting idea
construction. It would seem that serious
Business journalism is no place for an elegant
bright ideas, does not serve merely
informative purpose. However, Olin and
Economides reject this boring
postulate. Their book consists of ten
chapters that represent the ten
colors which metaphorically takes
oil. Excellent, in my opinion, and very
well absorbed.
The black
color means history, the discovery of oil
and its unsolved mysteries. red -
quite expectedly it represents blood,
shed in the oil wars. green -
Dollar color, of course. And the authors
slightly affect the theme of environmental
activists, and the same color in this theme
green. Yellow means political
intrigue that surround the world of oil and
oil. Purple, in which the authors
Rites of oil - an excellent allegory
the royal purple, which in ancient times
distinguished rulers of the world, from simple
mortals. Actually, the rulers of the world and
Now different from ordinary mortals
- only instead of purple robes on
their shoulders allocates a pair of oil rigs
in the garden. And three colors - red,
white and blue, the colors of the French
revolution. They were supposed to symbolize
US oil Democracy (authors
very patriotic people), but this part of
It seemed too biased.
Despite
on minor issues, the book is interesting,
and from it we can learn a lot.
In some ways, it repeats Yergin, but
complementary works, these books
it is desirable to read both. The picture will be
convex, and maybe even begin
overflow iridescence.
Daniel
Yergin, "The Quest: Energy, Security and the Remaking of the Modern
world "
Again we come back to Daniel Yergin.
The book «The Quest" has not
translated into Russian, but if
you read in English - I desperately
I recommend this work. after the first
the release of "Prey" was in '21 - and in the light
A new book was a great expert on
energy issues. This study
how the world uses energy
hydrocarbons, which will be next, what
accompanied by political upheavals
redistribution of spheres of influence of the energy,
and the most interesting - what we can
expect in the future. In short, it is a continuation of
"Prey", which deals with
the whole history of humanity Energy
the last two decades. Here and
explosion at Fukushima, and political
Revolution in Egypt and Libya, and the murder of
Mustache bin Laden, and the redistribution of oil to
The Middle East.
The book is encyclopedic, and it scrupulously
It described the whole modern world,
"The world of the new oil." The collapse of the Soviet
Union, by the way, here takes great
role.
In the book, Yergin, for example, debunks
peak theory, according to which soon
production of hydrocarbons descend
to naught: production is not declining, but growing,
According to the author as early as 2011. By the way,
the result of this we see now in all
its glory.
And here describes slate
Revolution in America, from the first
experiences and, ultimately,
full oil industry
on slates.
As an expert on energy, Yergin does not
cost and without a detailed analysis
ability to work on renewable
energy sources: wind, solar
heat, biomass, hydropower.
And here are the steps and characters
many people who have influenced
modern energy. Micro level
and macro-level, global energy
concepts and details (up to the description
facial expressions of the individual) - all this
It makes the book interesting and exciting,
like a roller coaster.
In general, strongly recommend that you read
Yergin, because this luminary of contemporary
energy journalism can
much to put in place in your
brain.
