Petróleo y Desarrollo

Quiero leer este artículo, pero es pago "The First Law of Petropolitics" de Thomas L. Friedman. Muy interesante y muy relacionado con la vuelta del estatismo a la región. Latinoamérica siempre a la vanguardia de la modernidad. Ya estamos de vuelta.


De Johan Norberg:

OIL AND GOVERNMENTS DON´T MIX:

In Dagens Industri today I continue to write on oil, today about how oil controlled by governments create authoritarianism, corruption and poverty. (See also Tom Friedman´s first law of petropolitics)

Let´s not forget that most OPEC-countries didn´t nationalise their oil until the early 1970s. Between 1950 and 1973 these countries got more than 4 percent richer every year, 1973-2003 they got almost 1 percent poorer every year.
