The Oil Kings and the Nobel Prize Winners
A Tale of Money, Power, and Intellectual Achievement
As the Nobel Prize winners come to Stockholm to receive their awards, let's take a look back at two classic works that shed light on the worlds of oil and intelligence.
Daniel Yergin's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power," is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the global petroleum industry. Yergin's book traces the rise of the oil industry from its humble beginnings in the 1850s to its dominant role in the world economy today.
In "The Prize," Yergin tells the story of the men and women who built the oil industry, from John D. Rockefeller to Sheikh Yamani. He also explores the geopolitical implications of the oil industry, and its impact on wars, revolutions, and economic development.
"The Prize" is a fascinating and informative book that provides a deep understanding of one of the most important industries in the world. It's a must-read for anyone interested in history, economics, or politics.
