Preface -- Growth of the state under Mubarak : follow the revenue trail -- Changes in the distribution of state revenues : security prevails -- The impact of the fiscal crisis on the relationship between central and local government : decentralization or fragmentation? -- From the rentier to the predatory state : transformations in the mechanisms for generating public revenues and their political consequences -- The end of the rentier/caretaker state and the rise of Egyptian capitalism : a fiscal infrastructure for democracy? -- Epilogue.
The Egyptian protests in early 2011 took many by surprise. In the days immediately following, commentators wondered openly over the changing situation across the Middle East. But protest is nothing new to Egypt, and labor activism and political activism, most notably the Kifaya (Enough) movement, have increased dramatically over recent years. In hindsight, it is the durability of the Mubarak regime, not its sudden loss of legitimacy that should be more surprising. Though many have turned to social media for explanation of the events, in this book, Samer Soliman follows the age-old adage-follow.
