Oil is often called Black Gold, but that would be understating its value to humanity. Of all the natural resources on our planet, none have such a far-reaching effect into every single aspect of our lives. From the medicine we take, to the buildings and roads we construct, to the cars we drive and so much more, the heartbeat of civilization pumps crude oil through a vast network of technological progress and industrial growth.
In this episode of Commodity Culture, we dive into the black liquid that powers the world to uncover just what makes it such an important resource to humanity.
