The answer is in examining the relationship between the politics & economics. Chapters: development of the system of control; the battle over the oil import quota; the oil crises; economists, energy & public policy; public opinion & oil politics; congressional voting on oil issues; interest groups, rent seeking, & oil politics; & conclusion Bibliography.
