Traditional accounts of John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil
Company, as well as more recent best-selling books on the subject,
still accept without question charges of unethical and
anti-competitive behaviour by the American oil industry. In this
synthesis of cultural, business, gender and intellectual history,
Roger and Diana Davids Olien explore how this negative image of the
petroleum industry was created -and how this image in turn helped
shape policy toward the industry in ways that were sometimes at
odds with both the goals or reformers and the public interest. By
turning a critical eye on sources that have often been accepted at
face value and examining the self-interests of oil industry
critics, the authors seek to produce a more balanced, complex
picture of the industry. Their case study of the impact of
technology offers an example of how business must be understood
through its cultural context and offers an approach to
understanding problems of regulation and reform.
