Sustaining Development in Mineral Economies: The Resource Curse Thesis Book

This book highlights the drawbacks of natural mineral resources for the ore-exporting economies of developing countries. Growing evidence suggests that this "natural asset" can distort a country's economy to such a degree that it actually becomes a curse. Richard Auty examines six ore exporters: Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Jamaica, Zambia and Papua New Guinea. He also discusses the problem of "Dutch Disease" when competitiveness is drained out of a country's agriculture and manufacturing sectors, hindering long-term growth. The book offers a systematic examination of the resource curse thesis and its inter-disciplinary approach synthesizes neo-liberal, political, institutionalist and environmentalist approaches.Read More
