Fouad N. Ibrahim
Barbara Ibrahim
In this insightful analysis, the authors describe the problems of food supply for a rapidly growing population, review the effects of water and land shortage, and consider the impact of globalization on Egypt’s attempt to industrialize. The structural difficulties besetting Egypt’s economy— population explosion, a seriously negative balance of payments, massive debt, unemployment, brain drain, and corruption—have already been eased by the rise of tourism, which is so vulnerable to Islamist terrorism.
