An expert on all aspects of international trade and investment policy from the World Trade Organization (WTO) to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), Juhasz is co-author of the upcoming second edition of Alternatives to Economic Globalization: a Better World is Possible. She is also the author of the IFG publication; “Does Globalization Help the Poor?” Juhasz also received a Project Censored award this year for her article, “Ambitions of Empire: the Radical Reconstruction of Iraq’s Economy,” in LeftTurn magazine. This article explores the use of the military invasion of Iraq to advance a corporate globalization agenda in the entire region. She provided testimony to the New York Session of the World Tribunal on Iraq in May 2004 on the economic colonization of Iraq by the U.S. and has published several opinion pieces and articles on this topic with particular attention paid to the Bechtel Corporation of San Francisco.

Em A Tirania do Petróleo, Antonia Juhasz investiga a verdade sobre a indústria petrolífera dos Estados Unidos e revela sua força global sem paralelos e a grande influência sobre os governantes.
Escrevendo sobre uma indústria que prospera em segredo, Juhasz mostra como o petróleo esconde seus negócios dos políticos e, principalmente, dos consumidores, além de revelar exatamente como o petróleo consegue o que quer – através do dinheiro, da influência e das mentiras. Além disso, este livro oferece um conjunto de iniciativas para refrear essa indústria, sua força de lobby governamental e a destruição do meio ambiente, enquanto reduzimos a dependência pelo petróleo. Suas respostas provocadoras sobre as mais importantes questões energéticas falam diretamente a leitores interessados nos preços do petróleo e do gás, no aquecimento global e nas guerras por petróleo. Juhasz explora os paralelos entre as companhias de hoje e a Standard Oil, a mais poderosa corporação norteamericana do início do século XX.
A Tirania do Petróleo mistura história e um minucioso trabalho de pesquisa e reportagem, contendo entrevistas com pessoas influentes e um foco único no ativismo. Este livro é leitura obrigatória para todo cidadão global preocupado com os rumos do planeta.… (meer)
