| Sumario: | I Oil Money i recounts the evolution in U.S. relations with the petroleum-exporting monarchies of the Persian Gulf following the mid-1970s "oil revolution." While Wight shows the United States surmounting the economic challenges of the 1970s, experts never ceased their handwringing about the kingdom's future. Wight argues that in the 1970s the United States continued to exercise such "disproportionate power over large parts of the world" that no other term but empire suffices to account for what the oil rents underwrote. |
