Iraq's Burdens
ABC-CLIO 2002; US$ 144.00Oil revenue has been an economic curse for Iraq. In the second half of the 20th century the international oil sector shaped Iraq's economy, forcing it to rely too heavily on revenue brought in by oil production and exports.

New Ways of Doing Business
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers 2003; US$ 36.99In their introduction, the editors of New Ways of Doing Business assert that in retrospect, it will be apparent that today's government, that of the early years of the 21st century, "was undergoing its most significant transformation since the decade of the 1930's when direct government-delivered services grew significantly as part of the New Deal."... more...
