A bstract . Grover Pease Osborne was the author of the first American textbook on resource economics. This field started during the Progressive Period in the United States (from 1890 to the 1920s). Osborne’s pioneering work encourages us to ask what sorts of public policies towards the management of non‐renewable resources are in the best interests of the nation.
