Oil as an Agricultural Industry (February 19, 2018)

 

This week we focus on the petroleum industry’s transformation from a nearly monopolistic entity, one where a few producers limited output, traded only among themselves, and colluded to maintain a steady global price well above costs, into a highly competitive industry where producers have no more control over prices than farmers do over the price of coffee, corn, soybeans, wheat, or any other agricultural product.
