Reviews

"""Capital and Collusion provides an interesting read for anyone attracted by the complexity of international political economic development... By highlighting the forces at work in developing countries, Root addresses the notion that distribution of wealth is often complex and requires situation specific responses to nations who are hindered by collusive cultural practices.""--Andrew J. Prelog, Journal of Economic Issues"
