Summary

• "Praise for Adam Hanieh's Capitalism and Class in the Gulf Arab States:"The first work to be published in English that gives a full understanding of the formation and development of the Gulf capitalist class."-Counterfire In this illuminating and original work, Adam Hanieh demonstrates that the Arab Spring rebellions are about much more than democracy. Too often the Arab uprisings have been reduced to a simple expression of mass protest against authoritarian regimes. In an accessible and engaging style, Hanieh shows how an analysis of the specific nature of capitalist development in the Middle East is key to understanding these revolutions.Adam Hanieh teaches development studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). He is the author of Capitalism and Class in the Gulf Arab States. "--
