Title: The Mexican petroleum industry, 1938-1950
Description: As Mexico increasingly began to view the investment by foreign companies in petroleum as an exploitation rather than a benefit, the Mexican government made the decision in 1938 to expropriate those companies and operate the industry through a government agency.  This book explores the objectives of expropriation and the degree of success the Mexican government had through that action.
