About this ebook
Egypt is the largest and most important country of the Arab world. However Egypt is very poor in oil and natural gas reserves, at least when compared to the other Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and North Africa. In the 1950s and 1960s, Gamal Nasser, an Egyptian military officer, tried to unite all Arabs in one country, under his leadership, in order for Egypt to control the oil of the Persian Gulf.
This essay briefly describes Nasser’s efforts in the 50s and 60s, which led to a cold war between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, until Nasser’s death in 1970.

I have studied economics to postgraduate level. I never worked as an economist though. I worked in the field of charter accountancyand I completed the relevant professional exams (the Greek equivalent of the English A.C.A.). My essays are written for the general reader with no economic or accounting knowledge, and the emphasis is on intuition. All my documents are extremely pro market and quite anti-socialist in nature. I admire economists from the Chicago and the Austrian School i.e. Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard. I am Greek and English is not my first language, so I hope you will excuse potential errors in my syntax.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary of essentials - could be even shorter & again absolute pity the guy doesn’t have a friend proof read his stuff: in another essay he even shows his utter lack of western culture by mixing AD & BC... for somebody with an economics post grad that can be off putting... but then with a current approach of “catching them doing the right thing” in education & academia, (given tat even Coursera has people pay for double PhDs hardly speaking English about the Arab Spring... with hardly any contents actually... well then al Hadeff comes out as excellent....
