The Oil Market in the 1980s: OPEC Oil Policy and Economic Developments

By Dimitri Aperjis

Ballinger, 1982, 240 pp.

A former British government minister, Jones argues that the oil-producing countries are not making the best use of their assets and that the consumers should help them industrialize. Aperjis, of the MIT Energy Laboratory, combines mathematics and politics to suggest what possibilities are open to different kinds of oil producers when demand is high or low.
