The Institutions Curse: Natural Resources, Politics, and Development - Business and Public Policy
Menaldo, Victor (University of Washington)
This book makes several contributions to the study of development. It debunks the view that oil leads to undesirable outcomes: the weakening of state capacity, authoritarianism, fewer public goods, and economic stagnation. It demonstrates that, after controlling for the institutional determinants of oil, it turns out to be a blessing.
