Journal article

When OPEC was founded, both the press and the governments of western countries greeted the event with a resounding silence, and went out of their way to disparage OPEC as a talking club of no relevance whatsoever. Oil companies, for their part, were happy to go along with the snub, refusing to negotiate collectively with OPEC under the – strictly genuine, albeit self-serving – excuse that their respective home governments would never grant them leave to do this (by the time permission finally came, of course, their goose was well and truly cooked).
