Los recursos naturales cimentan el poder de los dictadores del mundo. Autócratas como Putin y los prÃncipes saudÃes invierten el dinero del petróleo en armas y represión. Las milicias del Estado Islámico y el Congo utilizan el dinero del petróleo en atrocidades y munición. Desde hace décadas los regÃmenes autoritarios y extremistas, financiados por estos recursos, han forzado interminables crisis en Occidente, y la verdadera fuente de su dinero somos nosotros, los consumidores occidentales, pagando en la gasolinera y en el centro comercial. En este libro de gran alcance uno de los principales filósofos polÃticos del momento, Leif Wenar, analiza las reglas ocultas que amenazan la democracia y el desarrollo y que nos vinculan con las personas más peligrosas del mundo. Petróleo de sangre nos muestra cómo se puede liderar una revolución pacÃfica acabando con esta dependencia.
Natural resources underpin the power of the world's dictators. Autocrats such as Putin and the Saudi princes invest oil money in weapons and repression. Militias in the Islamic State and the Congo use oil revenues to fund atrocities and ammunition. For decades, authoritarian and extremist regimes financed by these resources have driven endless crises in the West--and the true source of their money is us, Western consumers, paying at the gas pump and in shopping malls. In this wide-ranging book, one of today's leading political philosophers, Leif Wenar, analyzes the hidden rules that threaten democracy and development and bind us to the world's most dangerous people. Blood Oil shows how a peaceful revolution can be led by ending this dependency.
