The article focuses on the panicked response of the British government to the oil embargo imposed following the Six-Day War—a time when the UK was caught between the legacy of wartime methods of control and the advent of computerisation necessary for managing supplies in the age of mass consumption. It highlights both ministers' willingness to cast aside established policies in order to secure oil and the increasing weakness of the British government machine in the face of the growing power of multinational companies, the agenda of OECD partners and the rising strength of oil-producing states. |
