Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first case is historically the most important case of private mineral governance outside the United States. Comparing British coal and American oil reveals the political circumstances that explain the collapse of this structure in the former case and its survival in the latter. Comparing both with Mexican oil brings in the international political dimension. It also finds surprising parallels between the collapse of private mineral governance in conservative Britain and revolutionary Mexico.
