摘要

The author believes that the mounting unrest in Egypt is caused by theinequitable distribution of wealth. He argues that the system appears to be enriching a relatively tiny elite, and this has provided openings for radicals who wish to destabilize the president's rule. The author examines the unrest, identifies the forces behind it, and prescribes steps that can be taken to alleviate the situation. The study concludes that the key to Egypt's future may be determined by President Mubarak's treatment of the powerful, but enigmatic, Muslim Brotherhood.
