So with the new changes that Egypt is trying to implement it's main source of Economy might be the hardest after kicking out their President-Dictator. In The New York Times we got a broader picture of what type of economy Egypt has, all ran by the military were they have divisions that "make television sets, jeeps, washing machines, wooden furniture and olive oil, as well as bottled water (...) named after a general's daughter, Safi."
Some scholars believe that if change is to really happen in Egypt military based business's have got to go in order to obtain a Free- Market Economic Reform, well the military is sure not hiding how displeased they are with this idea, and are showing they will do anything to keep their business interests in check. They showed this by accusing of corruption two advocates of economic openness Youssef Boustros-ghali and Rachid Mohamed. This really makes me wonder who was really pulling the strings when Mubarak was "running things"and if the military continues to interfere there wont be much change happening, i wont take any credit from the military that the this "revolution" has yet to get completely out of had but they have as much to lose as did Mubarak. So I wonder when will military's true intentions will come out and how far will they go to protect their interests?
