"The Curse of Oil" by Peter Maass
When: Wednesday, October 7, 7:30pm
Where: Skirball Cultural Center
2701 N. Sepulveda Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA
Free Parking on site at North Lot
Reservations are suggested and can be made at: http://zocalopublicsquare.org/upcoming.php?event_id=331.
What: A reading by Peter Maass, New York Times Magazine writer and author of Crude World. Maass visits Zócalo to explore the consequences of gas-guzzling, the paradox of plenty, and how to cure our addiction to oil. Every unhappy oil-producing nation is unhappy in its own way. But each is touched by what's known as the resource curse - the power of oil to harm rather than help the countries that possess it. Around the world oil vastly enriches small ruling classes, degrades the environment, and destabilizes political and economic institutions as prices fluctuate.
