Description
This study describes how the dynamic growth of the Mexican oil industry resulted from both the domination of foreign capital and Mexico's own economic restructuring, conditions similar to those under which free-market reforms are being adopted throughout the world today. Research into the operations of British and American oil companies in Mexico between 1880 and 1920 reveals their involvement in the events that led the country to revolution in 1910. The author explores the actions of oil men, politicians, diplomats and workers in a period of massive social upheaval.
