The Rise of the Egyptian Middle Class

Beschreibung

The Middle Eastern oil boom during the 1970s-80s led to swift economic growth and increased socio-economic mobility in Egypt. Here, Relli Shechter offers a local version of a wider Middle Eastern and international story: the global formation of middle-class societies, whose members strove for respectable lives with only partial success.
