Table of ContentsReviewsThe Wages of Oil is a sophisticated, careful, and absolutely essential exploration of the effects of oil wealth on the politics and economies of the Gulf states. Michael Herb's comparison of Kuwait and the UAE, and extension to the other GCC states, challenges dominant theories of rentier politics by digging into the precise mechanisms by which the introduction of vast oil wealth shaped national institutions. Herb shows convincingly that oil mattered differently in diverse national contexts. This is one of the best available books on the political economy of the Gulf states.
