DESCRIPTION:From Iraq and Saudi Arabia to Equatorial Guinea and Ecuador, what has been 
 the impact of oil on the countries that produce it? To what extent has 
 petroleum production helped or hurt nations develop not just economically, 
 but also politically and socially? And, how have campaigns like that of 
 Hugo Chávez’s to redistribute oil wealth in Venezuela created new 
 economic and political crises? With a focus on the rebels, royalty, 
 environmentalists, indigenous activists, dictators and CEOs associated with 
 the petroleum industry, Peter Maass examines the world that oil has 
 created. A contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine, Maass has 
 reported from the Balkans, Middle East, Asia, South America and Africa for 
 The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, and 
 Slate.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the Asia Society and the 
 Mechanics’ Institute Library.\n
