KNYGA Omaima M. Hatem State and Entrepreneurs in Egypt

The state and entrepreneurs are two players that have shaped both economic activity and economic history throughout the world since the Industrial Revolution. The state affects the economy through its policies, while entrepreneurs affect the economy through their performance. The two are interdependent, and successful economic growth depends on both sides working in a delicate balance. This book analyzes the history of economic development in Egypt to show the impact of the relationship between state and entrepreneurs on development performance since 1805.
