Affluence and Poverty in the Middle East is an introduction to the political economy of the Middle East, focusing on its most salient features - persistent poverty and extreme inequality. El-Ghonemy analyses the factors influencing the region, including its unique historical, religious and cultural mix, as well as its economic foundations and forms of corruption. For each factor he employs case-studies drawn from throughout the region, from Turkey to Sudan and Morocco to Iran. In the final section El-Ghomeny discusses possible solutions to the challenges facing the region, including possible uses of a peace dividend, and the role of democracy.
M. Riad El-Ghonemy is Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford, Fellow of the American University in Cairo and Emeritus Professor, Ein-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. He is the author of several books, including The Political Economy of Rural Poverty (1990).
