About the Book

Arab Development Denied examines how over the last three decades the Arab world has undergone a process of developmental descent, or de-development. As a result of defeat in wars, the loss of security and sovereignty, and even their own class proclivity, the Arab ruling classes have been transformed into fully compradorial classes that have relinquished autonomy over policy. The neoliberal policies adopted since the early eighties are not developmental policies, but the terms of surrender by which Arab resources, human or otherwise, are stifled or usurped. In this book, Ali Kadri attributes the Arab world's developmental failure to imperialist hegemony over oil and the rising role of financialisation, which goes hand in hand with the wars of encroachment that strip the Arab world of its sovereignty and resources.

Review :
'Kadri offers a new window into the Arab street. [...] His class-based narrative shows how war-or the desire for power-over oil is the main culprit behind the heart-rending grief in the region.' -Aqdas Afzal, 'Heterodox Economics Newsletter' ' "Arab Development Denied" is an exciting and dynamic examination of how and why countries of the Arab League have been impoverished and underdeveloped.' -Ray Bush, University of Leeds 'Ali Kadri has written a book that is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the economics of the Arab world, combining a provocative political economy analysis with careful attention to detail. I strongly recommend it.' -John Weeks, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
