Issued during the immediate post-boom decade, when Gulf fiscal policy was being recast by petroleum income, the volume records a formative moment in the political economy of the Gulf. - Dust jacket with minimal shelfwear; internally very clean and well preserved. - Westview Press Archives, with stamp "Westview Press Archives - Do Not Remove" to front flyleaf. - OCLC 4464720.
