David Waldner, University of Virginia, quoted in MESA Bulletin, n. 32, 1998
"Brings new theoretical and methodological insights...merits the close attention of students of rentier states...As a bonus, Karl contributes to the literature on the structure-agency problem, arguing for what she calls 'structured contingency' or the highly biased preference of certain types of decisions. The Paradox of Plenty, in any respect, deserved to be placed at the top of our reading lists and should become a staple in courses on political and economic development."
