The Washington-based Middle East Institute has included an essay of mine in a special edition of its Viewpoints series. The piece looks at how the 1979 oil price shock has affected US energy policy. The book of essays is entitled, “The 1979 ‘Oil Shock:’ Legacy, Lessons, and Lasting Reverberations.” My essay, on the costly delusion of energy independence, begins on page 85.
