Download or read book A Poetics of Political Economy in Egypt written by Kristin Koptiuch and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original in perspective, innovative in approach, this book investigates the changing relationship between Egypt's urban artisanry and the larger socio-historical transformations of the Egyptian economy. Focusing on two key historical periods in the early and late twentieth century, Kristin Koptiuch examines the political and economic conditions that affected the role of the artisan in Egypt over time. She is particularly interested in how the politics of representation in different modes of discourse -- colonialist, nationalist, developmentalist, ethnographic -- have alternatively cast Egypt's craft production as outmoded artisanry and as an ingenious, micro-entrepreneurial "informal sector." In light of the artisans' changing relation to the national and global economy, Koptiuch reads this figurative shift from "artisanry" to "informal sector" as a political allegory that contradicts the dominant narratives of Egypt's colonial modernity and neocolonial postmodernity. Attention to this allegorical figuration discloses what Koptiuch calls a poetics of political economy. Contrary to conventional positivist social science, realist ethnography, and empiricist history, this approach acknowledges the intricate mutual workings of meaning and material culture.

Download or read book Egypt s Occupation written by Aaron G. Jakes and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of capitalism in Egypt has long been synonymous with cotton cultivation and dependent development. From this perspective, the British occupation of 1882 merely sealed the country's fate as a vast plantation for European textile mills. All but obscured in such accounts, however, is Egypt's emergence as a colonial laboratory for financial investment and experimentation. Egypt's Occupation tells for the first time the story of that financial expansion and the devastating crises that followed. Aaron Jakes offers a sweeping reinterpretation of both the historical geography of capitalism in Egypt and the role of political-economic thought in the struggles that raged over the occupation. He traces the complex ramifications and the contested legacy of colonial economism, the animating theory of British imperial rule that held Egyptians to be capable of only a recognition of their own bare economic interests. Even as British officials claimed that "economic development" and the multiplication of new financial institutions would be crucial to the political legitimacy of the occupation, Egypt's early nationalists elaborated their own critical accounts of boom and bust. As Jakes shows, these Egyptian thinkers offered a set of sophisticated and troubling meditations on the deeper contradictions of capitalism and the very meaning of freedom in a capitalist world.

Download or read book Cleft Capitalism written by Amr Adly and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt has undergone significant economic liberalization under the auspices of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, USAID, and the European Commission. Yet after more than four decades of economic reform, the Egyptian economy still fails to meet popular expectations for inclusive growth, better standards of living, and high-quality employment. While many analysts point to cronyism and corruption, Amr Adly finds the root causes of this stagnation in the underlying social and political conditions of economic development. Cleft Capitalism offers a new explanation for why market-based development can fail to meet expectations: small businesses in Egypt are not growing into medium and larger businesses. The practical outcome of this missing middle syndrome is the continuous erosion of the economic and social privileges once enjoyed by the middle classes and unionized labor, without creating enough winners from market making. This in turn set the stage for alienation, discontent, and, finally, revolt. With this book, Adly uncovers both an institutional explanation for Egypt's failed market making, and sheds light on the key factors of arrested economic development across the Global South.

Download or read book The Political Economy of the Egyptian Revolution written by R. Roccu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the 2011 Egyptian revolution has already become the subject of much debate, the roots of the socio-economic context which made the revolution possible have seldom been explored. Roberto Roccu addresses this gap and in doing this provides the first detailed study of the deeper causes of the Egyptian revolution. Relying on an innovative understanding of Antonio Gramsci's thought, He argues that economic reforms implemented since the late 1980s provided the conditions for both the emergence of a capitalist oligarchy within the regime and an unprecedented rise in socio-economic inequality in society at large. These two processes substantially eroded any remnants of hegemony, leaving the Mubarak regime ill-equipped to face the global economic crisis. By alienating sections of the ruling bloc while impoverishing vast strata of the population, neoliberal reforms provided a necessary, although by no means sufficient, condition for the Egyptian revolution to occur.
Download or read book The Transformation of Egypt RLE Egypt written by Mark N. Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assassination of Sadat brings to an end another era in Egyptian history. This book examines the crucial issues in the transformation of Egypt in the period between the death of Nasser and the murder of Sadat. Focusing on the upheavals in the Egyptian political and economic structure over the last twenty years, the book explains the change in Egypt's international orientation through a careful examination of domestic factors. The switch from Nasser's state socialist-political economy to Sadat's more laissez-faire approach and the institutional and structural links between the two are analysed as the key to understanding the dynamic developments within Egypt. The book argues that the propagation of a new political economy was the primary basis of Sadat's ability to remain in power, while the weaknesses in that economy drove Sadat to seek external solutions and ultimately undermined his domestic support. His conduct of the 1973 war, his trip to Jerusalem, his enthusiasm for the United States and his whole perception of Middle Eastern affairs must be seen in terms of his domestic policies and internal troubles. First published 1982.
