Petrostates of the World, Unite!

In this episode, Aimen and Thomas talk about one of the many
governing institutions which arose out of the wreckage of the old
imperial and colonial world, and which still underpins the way the
world functions today: OPEC. The only great governing institution
founded and run by statesmen outside the Western corridors of
power, since its founding in 1960, OPEC has played a big role in
every major geopolitical event since its founding in 1960. War,
terrorism, kidnappings, assassinations, and an ever-present threat
to the global economy—the story of OPEC has it all! Listen to
