HOW BIG OIL CONQUERED THE WORLD

Oil. From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the petrochemical industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world.

Parts of that story are well-known: Rockefeller and Standard Oil; the internal combustion engine and the transformation of global transport; the House of Saud and the oil wars in the Middle East.

Other parts are more obscure: the quest for oil and the outbreak of World War I; the petrochemical interests behind modern medicine; the Big Oil money behind the “Green Revolution” and the “Gene Revolution.”

But that story, properly told, begins somewhere unexpected. Not in Pennsylvania with the first commercial drilling operation and the first oil boom, but in the rural backwoods of early 19th century New York State. And it doesn’t start with crude oil or its derivatives, but a different product altogether: snake oil.

“Dr. Bill Livingston, Celebrated Cancer Specialist” was the very image of the traveling snake oil salesman. He was neither a doctor nor a cancer specialist; his real name was not even Livingston. More to the point, the “Rock Oil” tonic he pawned was a useless mixture of laxative and petroleum and had no effect whatsoever on the cancer of the poor townsfolk he conned into buying it.

He lived the life of a vagabond, always on the run from the last group of people he had fooled, engaged in ever-

 part of that story are well - known: Rockefeller and Standard Oil; the internal combustion engine and the transformation of ball-shaped transport; the House of Saud and the oil wars in the Middle East. 

 Other parts are more obscure: the pursuit for petroleum and the outbreak of World War I; the petrochemical interests behind modern medicine; the Big Oil money behind the “ Green Revolution ” and the “ Gene Revolution. ” 

 But that story, properly told, begins somewhere unexpected. Not in Pennsylvania with the first commercial drilling process and the first oil boom, but in the rural backwoods of early nineteenth hundred New York State. And it does n’t start with crude oil or its derivatives, but a unlike product wholly: snake oil. 

 “ Dr. Bill Livingston, Celebrated Cancer Specialist ” was the identical image of the traveling snake oil salesman. He was neither a doctor nor a cancer specialist; his real name was not even Livingston.
