== Proposed merger of Resource curse and Rentier state == 

 Hello, as the creator of and frequent past contributor to the resource curse article, I was wondering whether you had any opinions on a merger of that article with rentier state, which seems to overlap in content in several areas. Technically I suppose the two concepts are distinct but between the two of them, I think there's potential for a solid article. Resource curse is probably the more popular terminology, although rentier state (which looks to be an orphan at the moment, actually) might be a more technical term.  

 If you have any thoughts, please leave me a reply either here or on , thanks!
