Reviews
Unlocking the Wealth of Indian Nations provides a rare look at Native Americans and their history and society. In this scholarly and well-researched book, the authors convincingly show that federal policies are keeping Native Americans economically underdeveloped. They also show that it is important to end discriminatory policies against the Native Americans to let them realize their full potential and play a role in making America stronger. It is a must-read book for understanding Washington's discriminatory policies about Native Americans. * The Washington BookReview *
The comparative development of the American Indian Nations provides an unrivaled natural experiment with enormous relevance to social scientists. This volume isn't therefore just a practical agenda to help some of the most marginalized people in the US, it's also an important intellectual milestone. -- James Robinson, University of Chicago
In Unlocking the Wealth of Indian Nations, Terry Anderson has assembled an excellent collection of essays confirming the failure of more than a century of top-down, federal paternalism and the promise of bottom-up institutional development by autonomous Indian nations and their citizenry. Through many examples drawn from a wide sampling of native populations, the authors provide convincing proof that, as in the past, property rights and trade are the keys to unlocking the future wealth of Indian nations. -- James Huffman, Lewis & Clark Law School
