From Rags to Riches: Is Guyana Ready for the Oil Bonanza? by Terence Yhip Pdf

Guyana's initial discovery of approximately 9 billion barrels of recoverable oil offshore now puts the country squarely on the precipice of economic prosperity for decades to come. But will that happen? Guyanese are asking themselves if their country is ready to manage the oil money, wisely and productively. They look at many hydrocarbon-rich rich countries in the region and elsewhere and they don't like what they see. Far from befitting from the oil wealth, the countries are mired in political chaos, corruption and economic stagnation. Many countries, such as Trinidad and Tobago (sister CARICOM state), face depletion of oil and gas reserves by the end of this decade or so, but their economies are more dependent than ever on the energy sector, hammered by low energy prices. With the persistent ethnic divisiveness in the country, Guyanese have reason to fear the resource curse. The book examines the current Guyana-ExxonMobil oil contract and argues rigorously that Guyana gave up substantial cash flow. In nontechnical language, "From Rags to Riches" not only tackles many difficult issues and challenges of managing natural resource wealth, but also explores solutions. The book is for the general public, policy makers, students, researchers and anyone interested in the economic growth and development of Guyana and similar oil-rich countries. The book challenges thinking about "what's really at stake" in the development of Guyana's energy sector.

Riches to Rags by Wynona Rogers Pdf

Wynona Rogers is a name that most people that know it would associate with integrity and insurance. Thirty-one years in the insurance business and a number of awards couldn't prepare her for the events that unfolded in 2007. Now she uses her unique storytelling skills in Riches to Rags: One Woman's Story of Betrayal and Redemption, the true-life story of her experience with a certain Baptist missionary and bookkeeper. Wynona grew up in the Baptist church where she was fortified with God's teachings, especially the Ten Commandments. Those teachings would be tested when a rogue missionary devastated her life. Wynona takes you through the harrowing events she experienced firsthand. The story has mystery, a bit of humor, but mostly inspiration. Pamela puts you there with her as she recounts the events that spanned the globe from Istanbul, Turkey, to the smallest island in Hawaii. Wynona Rogers shares her story so that the horrible things that happened to her may never happen to you. Truly a riches-to-rags story you won't soon forget.
