Book Synopsis
Examines state-middle class reciprocities in the making, persistence and failure of the Egyptian social contract

Trade Review
"The term social contract" has been a staple of writings on Egyptian politics for half a century. With precision and an intrepid willingness to re-examine long-accepted claims, Shechter shows that the contract, its origin and evolution, and even the identity and behavior of the contracting parties, have been profoundly misunderstood.??"" -Nathan Brown, George Washington University
