Daniel Yergin

T1JournalistsEconomies and industries

Economic historian of energy who won the Pulitzer Prize for The Prize (1991); founded Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which IHS bought in 2004.

S&P GlobalCambridge Energy Research Associates

The Prize narrates the oil industry from the first Pennsylvania wells to the Gulf War, establishing how companies, states and cartels have set prices and controlled reserves - the standard reference for anyone underwriting an energy asset. The Quest and The New Map carry that account into shale, renewables and the geopolitics of the energy transition.
