There are few areas of economic policy-making in which the returns to good decisions are so high—and the punishment of bad decisions so cruel—as in the management of natural resource wealth. Rich endowments of oil, gas and minerals have set some countries on courses of sustained and robust prosperity; but they have left others riddled with corruption and persistent poverty, with little of lasting value to show for squandered wealth. And amongst the most important of these decisions are those relating to the tax treatment of oil, gas and minerals. This book will be of interest to Economics postgraduates and researchers working on resource issues, as well as professionals working on taxation of oil, gas and minerals/mining.

The Taxation of Petroleum and Minerals

South of Charleston: The Journey examined some of the residual effects, which continue to define how black Americans are looked at and how they try to integrate their views of society, the way they live life in a world, which has rejected them at times because of their skin color. This is a look at one man’s journey and how his story is a small part of the bigger picture that is seldom written about or heard of. The story is about common lives that are not so common to those who live it. The hope is that my story will open the minds of its readers and bring them closer to some of the daily reality of people of color.
