Using the story of John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company, this book reveals how the negative image of the American petroleum industry was created and how it shaped public policy in ways sometimes at odds with the goals of reformers and public interest. This case study of the impact of ideology offers a new approach to understanding problems of regulation and reform.
