The story of the Egyptian economy

In this book, Dr. Jalal Amin sheds light on the development of the Egyptian economy over the past two centuries, from the beginning of Muhammad Ali's rule until the end of Mubarak's era, passing through the eras of Said Pasha, Khedive Ismail, the occupation period, and then the periods of Nasser, Sadat, and Mubarak; trying to interpret the economic development over more than two centuries and extracting important lessons from this long period of rise and fall, concluding that the periods of true renaissance for the Egyptian economy have always, throughout the past two centuries, been the times when Egypt enjoyed a reasonable degree of independence of will, allowed by a reasonable degree of improvement in international conditions.
