Description

This Routledge book examines why natural mineral resources, despite their apparent value, can become a curse for developing economies. Richard Auty analyses six ore-exporting nations-Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Jamaica, Zambia and Papua New Guinea-to demonstrate how mineral wealth distorts economic structures and undermines long-term growth. The text explores the paradox that resource abundance often leads to economic stagnation rather than prosperity, highlighting the mechanisms through which natural assets harm developing economies. By studying real-world cases, the book reveals patterns of dependency, institutional weakness and mismanagement that plague mineral-rich nations. Auty emphasises practical strategies for avoiding these pitfalls and managing resource wealth sustainably, making this essential reading for economists, policymakers and development professionals seeking to understand why some resource-rich nations fail whilst others succeed.
