The Resource Curse literature has considerable empirical support but it has led too many economists & others to conclude that resource economies are doomed. 😱 We offer some hope in our new @OUPAcademic @UNUWIDER open access book 👇 www.wider.unu.edu/publication/...

Are fossil fuels dying? Not on current trends. (Though producers need to think harder about the risks) Our new OUP book explores the market for oil, gas & coal as well minerals (inc. critical minerals) & the implications for the global South.🌍 open access too👇 www.wider.unu.edu/publication/...
