Description
This excerpt from the book discusses how mineral economies have been struggling in recent years and how this is due to a "resource curse." The book goes on to discuss how this curse can be overcome by implementing policies which will help to manage and use mineral resources more efficiently.
The mineral economies are an important group of developing countries which have suffered a "resource curse" over the past 20 years--showing a poorer performance than resource-deficient neighbors. This book draws upon case-studies and analysis of nine countries to demonstrate the difficulties currently faced and the policies which will be required in the future in order to take advantage of finite mineral resources to maintain the economic and social conditions for sustaining growth.
