Description
Alnasrawi (economics, U. of Vermont) sketches the recent economic developments in Iraq, identifying the overriding importance of the oil sector and the economic sanctions imposed after the Gulf War as the twin burdens that together increase the suffering of the Iraqi people. He argues that the oil sector has been a driving force in the history and economy of the country and examines its development since the 1950s. He then explores the impact of the massive bombing campaign of the Gulf War in which the Americans utterly destroyed the infrastructure of the country. Finally the effects the sanctions have on Iraq's ability to rebuild its infrastructure are explored. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
