Power Grab

Beschreibung

Power Grab shows that controlling the means of production of oil and minerals determines the rise and fall of political leaders. Nationalization - seizing operations for the state - is a gamble: its immediate windfalls can fortify the foundations of enduring rule, or its operational costs can risk future prosperity and political survival.
