OPEC at fifty

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The oil producer's organisation, OPEC, is fifty years old this week. We'll look at its history, plus its secretary general tells us why it's really a force for good. And small is beautiful: will America fall for compact cars as automakers look to a future of high petrol prices?
