Cronyism and Elite Capture in Egypt

More about the book

The book explores the role of international actors in perpetuating inequality and elite capture in Egypt. It argues that Western proponents of market liberalization have inadvertently supported local elites in reaping the benefits of economic reforms, revealing a complex interplay between global influences and local power dynamics. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it critically examines how these partnerships have shaped Egypt's economic landscape and contributed to ongoing disparities.
