I guess so, but then the claim boils down to: - It is bad to be resource rich and have a bad government. - It is good to be resource rich and have a good gove

I guess so, but then the claim boils down to:
- It is bad to be resource rich and have a bad government.
- It is good to be resource rich and have a good government.
Why not instead just say
- How good things are will significantly depend on how good the government is.
Since that claim holds true for both resource rich and resource poor countries.
- eru 16y agoYes. But we can add another (non-trivial) claim: If you have bad government, resources make it harder to transition to a good government.
