Thomas Friedman The first law of Petropolitics
The first law of Petropolitics : the price of oil and the pace of freedom always
move in opposite directions
“. …the higher the oil prices rise, the more free speech,
free press, free and fair elections, an independent judiciary, the rule of law,
and independent political parties are eroded… the higher the price goes, the
less petrolist leaders are sensitive to what the world thinks or says about
them …the lower the price of oil the more petrolist countries are forced to
more toward a political system and society that is more transparent, more
sensitive to opposition voices, and more focused on building the legal and
educational structures that will maximize their people’s ability…. “
