Author: Sabah Naaoush

Publisher: ALQALAM

Medium: Book

Theme: society & testimonials

Description: Economic and financial policies have this in common that they are extraordinary indicators of the strengths and weaknesses of the countries that manage them. Thanks to the information of all kinds that they convey, they provide so many keys to understanding mechanisms that are often very complex, and therefore not easily accessible to the general public, at the same time as they shed light on many social-political phenomena. Mr. Naaoush's book is therefore more than an information document on the state of the economies and public finances of a group of countries. it is a work of reflection and a study that demonstrates with clarity and thoroughness the workings of the economies and finances of Arab countries. It offers the reader a real mine of information on these countries as different as the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia or at the other end, Mauritania, Sudan or Somalia. The author presents a profound analysis of the more or less devastating effects of the Gulf War on the economy of Arab countries. The great interest of this book is to show that the economy and finances of a country are inseparable from the socio-political environment in which they are called to take effect. They should be tools at the service of development and the improvement of collective living conditions.
