Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the British occupation transformed the economy of Egypt from 1882 to 1906. Despite the many challenges, a wide range of financial reforms and economic strategies were enacted which enabled the state to balance its budget and reduce its debt. The author argues that this economic recovery was only achieved through creative accounting, suppression of wage labor, and other questionable financial and economic maneuvers. The author further highlights how these reforms favored the interests of foreign creditors and did not benefit the majority of Egyptians. The book concludes by emphasizing that any assessment of the British occupation in Egypt must take into account not just the economic progress made but also the oppressive measures employed to achieve it.
