"Economic security issues have traditionally centered on health uncertainties, retirement needs, and protection against income interruption. However, over the past quarter-century, the U.S.'s civilian leadership and the military community, joined by a variety of domestic groups, have transformed the concept of economic security into a prominent national security issue. Undoubtedly, the major impetus for this was the 1973 OPEC oil embargo and the economic trauma of the 1970s." (USA TODAY MAGAZINE) The author examines the impact oil paranoia has had on America's sense of national security.
