Trillion dollar baby : how Norway beat the oil giants and won a lasting fortune

Cleary, Paul, 1964-2016
Books
For most of its history, the near-Arctic nation of Norway eked out a marginal existence from fishing, forestry and shipping. But things began to change in 1969, when the country confirmed it had found one of the world's biggest offshore oilfields. As the revenue from this field and many others started to flow, Norway began to create the world's best system for developing mineral resources, and for managing the revenue. Unlike many other countries, Norway took a non-renewable resource and turned it into a financial asset that can last for generations to come. This is the story of how they did it.
