Description
Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? This title looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth - and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing.
