Like any other science, economics and development research have their legends and fairy tales, an especially popular and widespread example being the legend of oil, OPEC and Third World power. Whenever problems of dependency are discussed someone is likely to introduce OPEC as a precedent of reverse dependence: albeit the only example, the argument might run — it shows that industrialised countries too are dependent on the South. Oil shocks and oil crises prove it.
