The evolution of the oil industry by Ross, Victor explores petroleum industry and trade.
The evolution of the oil industry is a work by Ross, Victor. Its subjects include Petroleum industry and trade.
From the opening pages: “Petroleum, it becomes clear, was the first natural product to which the abstract theory of order, as understood by modern social philosophers, was applied in a large and general sense. It must be accounted good fortune not only for America but for the world at large, that this movement, though gradual at the outset, commenced almost within a decade of the birth of the modern petroleum industry at Titusville, Pa., in 1859. The outcome has tended to influence economic thought the world over, especially since war on an unprecedented scale put all established systems, traditions, and institutions to the acid test.”
