THE PLUNDERED PLANET — How to Reconcile Prosperity with Nature: Paul Collier; Allen Lane. Penguin Books India Pvt. Ltd., 11, Community Centre, Panchsheel Park, New Delhli-110017. Rs. 699.
This absorbing book on natural resources economics by Paul Collier of Oxford University can be divided into three parts: the first, an utilitarian treatment of natural resources management; the second, a prescription of policy and strategy to govern such management in poor but resource-rich countries: and the third, application of these principles to shaping a response to the challenge posed by global environmental issues like global warming. Along the way, the reader gets an interesting insight into how resources are being plundered, by both insiders and outsiders, in countries that are poor economically but rich in natural resources. Collier draws on his vast, and often trying, experience of advising African countries in ethically sound management of natural assets.
