SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Oil Wealth and the Fate of the Forest is a topical and accessible book with numerous implications for policy formulation to decide what can be done to diminish deforestation without jeopardising economic growth. This book needs to be read not only by students and academics involved in environmental economics, but also by decision-makers involved in the conservation and sustainable use of forests."--Jacket.
