"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.
