shurepath 0 OO March 22, 2018 Going by how several economies are being run by oil and non-oil producing countries spending a huge chunk of their budget on importing oil to .run their industries thus creating fortunes out of this liquid gold.How would the world likely be without this precious commodity playing a roll in her economies?
