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.
