failure, which has opened a gap between the rulers and the ruled.
It has led to a lack o f confidence in Arab culture, and hostility to
foreign influences.”
The Arab Human Development Reports 2002 and 2003, prepared
by a group of leading Arab intellectuals under the auspices of the
UNDP and the Arab Fund for Social and Economic Development
confirmed such a very pessimistic view of the Arab world. The
combined gross domestic product of the 22 Arab countries was
lesser than Spains. Labor productivity in these countries dropped
between I960 and 1990, while it soared elsewhere in the world.
Even Africa outperformed the Arab world in rates o f economic
growth. An exploding population cannot be supported by scarce
resources and every other citizen is ready to emigrate."(...)
