Natural Resources: Neither Curse Nor Destiny is a hardcover All Books title by Daniel Lederman; William F Maloney. It brings together econometric studies of growth and historical accounts of development in countries with abundant natural resources. The book examines arguments, made since the 1960s, that resource-rich developing countries grow more slowly and theories that competition for resource rents can weaken institutions. Its evidence suggests that resources can support development when countries also build knowledge for innovation. Knowledge, infrastructure and governance also influence what countries produce and export and how firms and workers produce it.
