The Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentReviewsThis is a well-written concise examination of the basic economics of the mineral industry and of the various policy issues facing all its stakeholders. It is not only an ideal text for students of mineral economics but also a clear exposition of the industry's driving forces for students of mining-related disciplines, and for professionals within the industry, the financial community and governments. - Phillip Crowson, Honorary Professor and Professorial Research Fellow, Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy, University of Dundee, UK This is a well-written concise examination of the basic economics of the mineral industry and of the various policy issues facing all its stakeholders. It is not only an ideal text for students of mineral economics but also a clear exposition of the industry's driving forces for students of mining-related disciplines, and for professionals within the industry, the financial community and governments. - Phillip Crowson, Honorary Professor and Professorial Research Fellow, Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy, University of Dundee, UK ... this is a comprehensive work of encyclopedic ambitions. It is well researched by two scholars with impressive knowledge of minerals. In my judgment, the prospects are considerable for the book to become a long-lasting classic. Reading it will benefit all kinds of audiences with an interest in mining, from students and their faculty to the captains and employees in the industry, as well as the public policy makers responsible for creating a favorable climate for mineral production, not to forget the financial types that invest in the sector. - Marian Radetzki, Professor of Economics, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden, in Asian Pacific Economic Literature Tilton and Guzman set the standard for clear writing on a topic that is prone to confused and incomplete assessments. Balancing economic theory with facts and institutional details, this volume more than achieves its goal of demonstrating how simple economic principles provide powerful insights into mineral markets and public policy. Read this book. - Roderick G. Eggert, Professor of Economics and Business, Colorado School of Mines, USA ...overall an important book which lays out, as has not been done before in this way, the core principles of mineral economics and how they can be used to inform and improve policy-making. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the subject area and fully bears out the book's claim to be 'an ideal text for graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of mining engineering and natural resource economics and policy...and of interest to professionals and investors in mining and commodity markets...'. The writing is elegant and the exposition an illustration of economic thinking at its best and most lucid-as perhaps one might expect from the two authors with a long (in one case, very long) experience of teaching. - David Humphreys in Mineral Economics journal (2016) Con temario completo, lenguaje delicado, ideas simples y no tan simples, entendible para una audiencia amplia, y por supuesto tambien para los entendidos, este libro coloca a esta disciplina, la economia de minerales, en otro nivel del que estaba anteriormente. Ahora es posible incluso para alguien que sabe muy poco sobre el tema auto instruirse. Para los profesores este libro es un regalo, porque aqui esta la teoria con ejemplos, listo para ser texto guia de un curso. - Professor Gustavo Lagos in Mineria Chilena. Author InformationJohn E.
