Why the Oil and Gas Industry Will Never be the Same
Marshall Auerback | counterpunch.org | 2020-05-01
When a staple commodity collapses to negative value it signals that something is clearly amiss in the global economy. When it is a global energy source like crude oil, it does not just signal pain in the oil patch, but an economic dislocation evocative of the Great Depression. Rare is the time when a commodity…

Charlotte Dennett | counterpunch.org | 2020-05-01
What are we make of the fact that the price of oil tanked to below zero per barrel on April 22, the greatest drop in history? The price has gone up slightly since then, hovering around $16 a barrel on April 25th, but it is still severely depressed. Who will suffer from this? And perhaps more importantly, who will gain?

Virtual Liberation in Italy
