Leif Wenar and colleagues offer an ingenious proposal for making trade in natural resources morally acceptable. This volume is engaged public philosophy at its very best.
- Debra Satz, Stanford University,
Corruption in oil, gas, and mining is rampant across the globe. This ‘must read’ book goes to the core security imperatives for international action and provides vital pathways to progress.
- Frank Vogl, Transparency International, author "Waging War on Corruption",
Leif Wenar’s Blood Oil showed that we are complicit in the purchase of stolen goods, and that this complicity has disastrous consequences. Now, in Beyond Blood Oil, he and his interlocutors take that debate further, probing its foundations as well as its broader ramifications. This is an important book on a crucial issue.
