Did one man from Iraq make Norway rich?

Available for over a year

When Farouk Al-Kasim moved his young family from Iraq to Norway in the 1960s, it was to seek medical care for his son rather than for his own career prospects. But during a few serendipitous hours in Oslo, he got himself a job which would lead to Norway becoming one of the most successful oil producers - and one of the richest countries - in the world.
