Reddit reviews The King of Oil: The Secret Lives of Marc Rich

I have an eccentric obsession with the oil/energy industry. Some of these books were mentioned already, but below are my absolute favorites:

• The Prize
  
• The Frackers
  
• Oil 101
  
• The Big Rich
  
• The King of Oil
  
• Fundamentals of Investing in Oil and Gas
  
• The Smartest Guys in the Room
  
• The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels
  
  If you're looking for a history of oil and gas check out The Prize, and The Frackers covers the more recent energy revolution. Oil 101 and Fundamentals of Investing in Oil and Gas deal more with the technical side.

En god bog kunne være The King of Oil: The Secret Lives of Marc Rich, hvor bogen omhandler Marc Rich som var kendt for at stifte det største råvarer handlede firma på hans tid, som senere blevet til Glencore(en af de største multinationale firmaer i verden). Bogen omhandler både hans forretning, men også hans personlige historie. Alt i alt en meget god bog

Edit

På et tidspunkt i bogen spørger forfatteren Marc Rich om, han har moralske svært omkring handlede med verdens diktatorer, hvor han svarer "If you are too proud, you don't do business."

Check out The Seven Sisters and The King of Oil.

Also, check out The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century.

I am re-reading King of Oil - The Secret Lives of Marc Rich. Fascinating book about Marc Rich the oil trader who defied sanctions on Iran. Built the commodities trading firm what is now Glencore.

Yeah Oil 101 is definitely a little dry at times and much more focused solely on information.

Here is a link to King of Oil. It is much more of a story and just has some history of the industry and information about it mixed in throughout since it is necessary to telling the story.

You're really against people looking into things for themselves. I've never made any claims beyond a bunch of nouns being connected. I didn't even say how they were connected. I thinks you protest a whole lot bro.

Try reading a book, it shouldn't hurt you too badly. https://www.amazon.com/King-Oil-Secret-Lives-Marc/dp/031265068X
