Ken Silverstein's "The Secret World of Oil"
A Descent Into Big Oil’s Inferno
by LOUIS PROYECT
Reading Ken Silverstein’s “The Secret World of Oil” is like picking up a
rock in the middle of the night and shining a flashlight at the creepy,
crawly things found beneath. The emphasis is on the word secret since
many of the men he scrutinizes prefer it that way. Even when their
activities remain within the law, their assault on ethics and decency
would provoke a Sodom and Gomorrah punishment from a just god if one
existed. Is moral turpitude, criminality and a bestial level of greed
intrinsically connected to making a living as a middleman in the
petroleum industry? That is the conclusion a reader would draw after
reading the fast-paced and entirely entertaining tour led by Ken
Silverstein, our Virgilian guide to a Dante’s Inferno fueled by oil and gas.
