Tin: Its Production and Marketing (Global Perspectives in History and Politics)

'œA monograph and a concise topical reference of value to students of economics, politics, and the mineral sector.... Robertson (economics, University of Liverpool) draws upon his extensive association with the International Tin Council to provide this brief but authoritative and well-written survey of the world tin industry. Introductory chapters on the methods, costs, and changing technology of tin production provide the basis for a detailed treatment of tin as a commodity in world trade. The final chapters deal with future supply potential and long-run market aspects. There is an adequate index and an up-to-date bibliography. Numerous tables illustrate trends in production, price, and trade.'' ChoiceWilliam Robertson is the author of 'Tin: Its Production and Marketing (Global Perspectives in History and Politics)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780313236372 and ISBN 0313236372.
