Sovereign Nations or Reservations? An Economic History of American Indians

Sovereign Nations or Reservations?
An Economic History of American Indians

By Terry L. Anderson


Economic analysis debunks the romantic image of American Indians by asserting that historically,
American Indian culture was similar to modern Western cultures in its respect for property rights.
Anderson calls for increased self-determination, sovereignty and radical reform for American Indians.

Terry L. Anderson is the executive director of PERC and a professor of economics at Montana State
University.
