‘This book provides a far-reaching and much needed exploration of the crooked intersection between natural resource wealth and inequality. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, it tackles this problem in all its complexity, yielding original insights into why regions of exceptional natural wealth so often suffer from exceptional inequality. Policymakers, firms, activists, and citizens alike will find it invaluable.’
