520 In this book the author goes deep inside ExxonMobil Corp,
the largest and most powerful private corporation in the
United States. He investigates the notoriously secretive
ExxonMobil Corporation, revealing the true extent of its
power. ExxonMobil's annual revenues are larger than the
economic activity in the great majority of countries,
equivalent to the GDP of Norway. In many of the countries
where it conducts business, ExxonMobil's sway over
politics and security is greater than that of the United
States embassy. In Washington, ExxonMobil spends more
money lobbying Congress and the White House than any other
corporation. Yet despite its outsized influence, it is a
black box.
