Yergin was awarded the 1997 United States Energy Award for "lifelong achievements in energy and the promotion of international understanding." The Prize (1991; ISBN 0671502484) is Daniel Yergins 800-page history of the global oil industry from the 1850s through 1990.
Daniel Yergin: One of the most dramatic parts of Commanding Heights -- although you will have to see it to believe it -- is the story of the Asian financial crisis at the end of the 1990s that hit the rest of the world -- and was a close call for our own financial markets.
DANIEL YERGIN: I think that first the people who are really hurt for instance who worked at a company and had a lot of retirement savings in their company's stocks as WorldCom or Enron or some of the other companies and you've seen the stocks particularly in the area of technology, media and telecommunications.

 Economic Club of Washington: Speech Archives: Daniel Yergin
Yergin observed that people are also more conscious about living with its stresses and its perils, and see not only the benefits but also the risks and what might even be called the darker side of globalization.
Daniel Yergin, Chairman of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, is one of the world's leading authorities on energy policy, as well as international politics and economics, Senator Mitchell said.
Yergin pointed out that we are now living in the second modern age of globalization, and the great turning point of this age was at the end of the 1980s and the early 1990s with the fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the Soviet Union, and end of the Gulf War.

 PBS: Think Tank: Transcript for "The Future of Energy"
YERGIN: As to whether, you know, are we talking about the equivalent of adding another medium-sized oil exporting country to the world’s energy supplies or - or something much smaller than that and you know, there’s plenty of experience - until you have some kind of drilling experience you can’t really answer that question.
YERGIN: Daniel, but if it was a million barrels a day, which some people think is the case, which if we got that out of some other country we would be dancing up and down for joy.
YERGIN: I think the reality is that we’re going to be part of a global economy in terms of energy as we are when we sell Boeings and movies overseas and so I think managing that interdependence and encouraging diversification of supplies is something I’d put right at the top of the list.

...Yergin's story of the origins of the cold war, the sentiments and bureaucratic concerns of American policy-makers are all brightly illuminated before us, while the Soviet Union is a quiet offstage presence, its function being only to provide a plausible pretext for the main action, the rise of the "national security state" in America...

 Amazon.com: The Prize : The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power: Books: Daniel Yergin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Yergin's fascinating account sweeps from early robber barons like John D. Rockefeller, to the oil crisis of the 1970s, through to the Gulf War.
Part of Yergin's history is something of a tragedy: the gradual seizure of oil from the voyagers who discovered it by national governments who were able to use their seizures to threaten the West during the 1973 oil shock and beyond.
Yergin chronicles how oil went from a freewheeling business of refiners and speculators to an instrument of great geopolitical importance, one where nation-states played at least as great a role in shaping the industry as the oil companies did.

 The Prize : The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power - Daniel Yergin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Daniel Yergin's first prize-winning book, Shattered Peace, was a history of the Cold War.
To put all this in a single narrative is no small task; and yet Daniel Yergin succeeds admirably, and it is no wonder that he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his effort.
Yergin's talents extend beyond his ability to make sense out of a complicated story; it is refreshing to read his book combine politics and economics in a coherent and understandable fashion; to read him navigate through various historical and political settings, whether that is turn-of-the-century America, conservative Saudi Arabia or revolutionary Iran.

DANIEL Yergin has always had a good nose for the big story, from the history of the oil business in The Prize to the Cold War in Shattered Peace.
The Depression had taught people around the world the same lesson, Yergin writes: "Capitalism had failed massively." The free market was blamed for misery and poverty.
As Yergin correctly points out, free-market capitalism has triumphed because it has been able to deliver rewards that the state never could.

 Russia 2010 : And What It Means for the World (Vintage), Vintage, Daniel Yergin, Thane Gustafson
Using the management technique of "scenario planning" and drawing on an extensive knowledge of Russia's political and economic history, Daniel Yergin and Thane Gustafson have produced a study that is already shaping the investment strategies of major corporations and that will become an essential text in the policy debates about the next century.
Most importantely, what Yergin and Gustafson did in "Russia 2010" was NOT to make absolute forecasts or to simply (and mindlessly) extrapolate from the situation at the time, but instead to apply powerful "scenario planning" techniques to thinking through the most likely futures for Russia.
Yergin and Gustafson, however, by spending some time and effort to actually think through possible scenarios, hit the nail on the head regarding the future of Russia in one of their four posited "scenarios" -- with two of the three others having large elements of truth as well.

 Shattered Peace: The Origins of the Cold War (Daniel Yergin)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Yergin implies that because Stalin approached these efforts methodically and carefully, and drew back when confronted, Truman overreacted in accusing him of trying to take over too much of Europe and Asia.
Here Yergin suffers a common myopia among Cold War analysts: an apparent inability to see the link between American pushback, or lack of it, and how far the Soviets chose to go.
But Yergin's contribution is really in pointing out that American policy was at one time made relatively free of that European-style premise; it was the menace of Soviet expansionism and the Cold War that forced us to adopt it.

 Daniel Yergin's Peak Oil Denial
We begin this ominous month with the curious case of Daniel Yergin, who won the Pulitizer for his 1992 epic history of the oil industry, The Prize, later turned into a PBS megadocumentary.
Since his big score, Yergin has set up a public relations firm called Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) which, in the spirit of the PR profession, seems to have become the main disinformation organ for its clients, the major oil companies.
What follows Abdullah—with Arabian oil entering its arc of depletion, and the kingdom’s oil welfare disbursments shrinking among an exploding population, including a large number of unemployed, futureless, non-royal angry young Arabian men occupied in the study of a militant wahhabism—may be a very turbulent chapter in the history of that region.

Until the last two months, one of the United States' major sources of oil imports was Iraq, a country now often used in sentences with the word war.
Thus, it might not be until 2006 or 2008 that Iraq would be able to launch itself on a true expansion phase of its capacity and test the premise as to how big a player it can be in the world of oil.

Despite its global scope, the story of oil has a linearity that lets Yergin tell the tale as an historical narrative.
When we set up an exchange program between Royal Dutch/Shell and Harvard, Dan Yergin was the first of the Harvard group to be selected to visit London.
This a long book for a reason; it does not avoid any of the levels of the tale--global and regional politics, the transformation of the twentieth century economy, the powerful personal tales of vision, greed and adventure, and most of all, the nature of the oil industry itself.

 Book Summary : The Commanding Heights : The Battle for the World Economy by Daniel Yergin, Joseph Stanislaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw characterize the balance between government and private marketplace clout as a battle for the commanding heights of the economy.
They trace this fight back to the years after World War II, where they discover that capitalism had been widely discredited and governments were basking in the glow of wartime victory.
With descriptions of the catalytic people and events that moved markets and policy, Yergin and Stanislaw have turned an essentially academic topic into a readable book, which is as much about economics as it is about history.
