Focusing on how cities have been torn down and remade based on the needs of the automobile and wars are fought to keep fuel tanks filled, this consideration looks closely at the country's obsession with cars. The argument contends that the automobile's ascendance is inextricably linked to several factors-from capitalism and involved corporate malfeasance to political intrigue, backroom payoffs, and media manipulation.
