Charting the main turnpoints as the growth of cities, trade routes, the petroleum industry and growth of the authoritarian state the author argues that central bureaucratic control is limiting growth. He describes the state as governed by the interests of the ruling family who continue to block opportunities for social mobility. He is also critical of the lack of a broad, productive base in the economy, the export of capital and its effect on investment in local resources, as well as the technological dependence on the West. 410 0$aRoutledge Library Editions: The Arab Nation 606 $aPolitics, Practical$zArabian Peninsula$xHistory 606 $aSocial mobility$zArabian Peninsula$xHistory 606 $aIslam and state$zArabian Peninsula$xHistory 607 $aArabian Peninsula$xPolitics and government 607 $aArabian Peninsula$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aPolitics, Practical$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial mobility$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam and state$xHistory. 676 $a320.953 700 $aNaqi?b$b Khaldu?n H?asan$0637183 701 $aKenny$b L.
