Editorial Reviews
Choice
"The book provides good background on the early history of oil development with discussion of concession agreements, pricing arrangements, and the resulting growth of output leading ultimately to nationalism of the industry, establishment of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and the pricing revolution of 1973."

Review
“The book provides good background on the early history of oil development with discussion of concession agreements, pricing arrangements, and the resulting growth of output leading ultimately to nationalism of the industry, establishment of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and the pricing revolution of 1973.”–Choice
“...a comprehensive study of the political economy of modern Iraq. This book is valuable for both the specialist and nonspecialist alike. Researchers, diplomats, and journalists seeking to understand the complex issues and problems related to Iraq ought to read The Economy of Iraq.”–Digest of Middle East Studies
“...a well-documented survey of the economic history of Iraq since 1950. A book rich in details.”–Journal of Energy and Development
“Alnasrawi's important study will no doubt become a classic in the all too rapidly growing literature on policy failure in the developing world. His study presents a sophisticated and fascinating account of the damage a reckless regime can inflict. It should be on the shelf of anyone wishing to look beyond the headlines and understand what really went wrong in Iraq.”–Middle East Studies Association Bulletin
