Beskrivning
Most American Indian reservations are islands of poverty in a sea of wealth, but they do not have to remain that way. To extract themselves from poverty, Native Americans will have to build on their rich cultural history including familiarity with markets and integrate themselves into modern economies by creating institutions that reward productivity and entrepreneurship and that establish tribal governments that are capable of providing a stable rule of law. The chapters in this volume document the involvement of indigenous people in market economies long before European contact, provide evidence on how the wealth of Indian Nations has been held hostage to bureaucratic red tape, and explains how their wealth can be unlocked through self-determination and sovereignty.

Recensioner i media

Unlocking the Wealth of Indian Nations provides a rare look at Native Americans and their history and society. In this scholarly and well-researched book, the authors convincingly show that federal policies are keeping Native Americans economically underdeveloped. They also show that it is important to end discriminatory policies against the Native Americans to let them realize their full potential and play a role in making America stronger. It is a must-read book for understanding Washington’s discriminatory policies about Native Americans.
