Abstract
The economic success of developing a desert depends on water, technological innovation, and the wherewithal to support necessary investment in infrastructure. A desert's location is critical. Where it is close to large centres of population and production, the available space and relative cheapness may stimulate expansion - with the basic principle being that of marginal cost pricing. The Negev illustrates some of the points made. -B.Beeley
