Extract

One of the most colorful episodes in American business history is the development of the Texas oil industry. From the 1956 movie Giant to the 1978–1991 television series Dallas the Texas oil boom has fascinated millions of people. Among economic historians and economists, the industry has been the basis for studies of firm behavior, regulation, collective action, and regional economic development.
