When I asked what the right economic policy for Egypt should be, they simply said that all would be fine, because now they had democracy; and any economic ideas that they did have were well to the old left of anything that had a remote chance of working.
Quando perguntei sobre qual deveria ser a política económica adequada para o Egipto, eles simplesmente disseram que qualquer uma seria boa, porque eles agora tinham uma democracia; e todas as ideias económicas que tinham eram mais convenientes à velha esquerda (Old Left) do que qualquer coisa que tivesse a mínima hipótese de funcionar.
