Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book revolves around the dispute between the federal government and 13 western states over the control of and access to natural resources. The dispute centers around the federal policies of keeping western land largely undeveloped and under federal control. The author presents the case that these policies hinder the development and prosperity of the West. This thought-provoking book delves into the legal and constitutional arguments from both viewpoints and touches on concerns about development leading to monopolies and environmental degradation. At its core, this book grapples with the tension between conservation and development, states' rights and federal authority, and the battle for control over the natural resources that shape the future of the western United States.
