How crony capitalism damages the economies of developing countries from Tunisia to Egypt and Pakistan

10/14/2014

Under Ben-Ali, Mubarak and Musharraf, crony capitalism damaged the economies of Tunisia, Egypt and Pakistan. Declan Walsh's NYT report on Pakistan Railways is a timeless classic of such reporting. Military or military supported dictators handed key state companies or contracts to cronies leading to the mismanagement. For some reason more of this has happened in Arab or Muslim countries and may created the conditions for the democracy protests in the Arab world in 2012-2013. It also happens in countries with a large and growing number of young people in the population. Crony capitaism also exists in Malaysia and other Asian countries but it has not led to the gross mismanagment seen in countries such as Egypt and Pakistan.

The Democratic Options in Tunisia and Egypt

01/27/2011

Roger Cohen of the New York Times calls the street protestors in Tunisia and Egypt "revolutionary Geeks." They are young, pragmatic, looking mainly to be free of the shackles of despotic regimes and the lack of economic opportunity. The one party rule of the Tunisian ruler, of Mubarak and Quadaffi add up to one hundred years of despotism says Cohen. The failure of President Obama and Hillary Clinton to take a clear stand in support of change and in favor of democracy in the Arab world.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
