Download or read book Underdeveloping the Amazon written by Stephen G. Bunker and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underdeveloping the Amazon shows how different extractive economies have periodically enriched various dominant classes but progressively impoverished the entire region by disrupting both the Amazon Basin's ecology and human communities. Contending that traditional models of development based almost exclusively on the European and American experience of industrial production cannot apply to a regional economy founded on extraction, Stephen G. Bunker proposes a new model based on the use and depletion of energy values in natural resources as the key to understanding the disruptive forces at work in the Basin.
