Cover of Sven Wunder: Oil Wealth and the Fate of the Forest (PDF)

Reduction in the size of the world’s remaining rainforests is an issue of huge importance for all societies. This new book – an analysis of the impact of oil wealth on tropical deforestation in South America, Africa and Asia – takes a much more analytical approach than the usual fare of environmental studies. The focus on economies as a whole leads to a more balanced view than those that are often put forward and therefore, vitally, a view that is more valid. Of use to those who study environmental issues and economics, this book is potentially an indispensable tool for policy-makers the world over.
