Exploring the theme of natural resource abundance, the book argues that such wealth can be an advantage rather than a curse, contingent on effective institutions and decision-making processes. Using Canada as a case study, it examines the country's successful export-oriented economy from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century, highlighting its historical industries. Additionally, it addresses gender inequality and labor dynamics, supported by newly constructed data sets that enhance economic analysis and historical understanding.
