Overall, ""Kuwait A Country Study"" is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this important Middle Eastern nation.Foreign trade has always dominated Kuwait's economy. Before the discovery of oil, merchants developed large transshipment and reexport businesses that, along with the sale of pearls to foreign dealers, yielded a substantial part of the population's income. The discovery of large quantities of oil provided a new and increasingly important export because Kuwait needed only small amounts of oil products domestically.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
