The book contains the classic papers by Hotelling on the economics of exhaustible resources, Baumol and Oates on externalities, and Hardin on the degradation of commons. Other contributors include Nobel Laureates Ronald Coase and Robert Solow, and reputed scholars such as Partha Dasgupta, Anthony Fisher, and William Nordhaus.

The reader comes with an exhaustive annotated bibliography, which has been specially prepared to fulfil the needs of students and researchers in developing countries. Policy-makers and government agencies will also find this book an invaluable resource.
