Apr 10, 2015 at 22:50 | comment | added | TimR | We can say "Falling oil revenues put the country's economy at stake". That is, the economy is put at risk by the falling revenues. But the economy is not "at stake with" the revenues. IMO, the quoted sentence is not idiomatic. | |

Apr 10, 2015 at 12:56 | comment | added | curiousdannii | Why are you dubious? And if you want to say the economy is dependent on its oil revenues, why not just say exactly that? | |
