Gary Becker On Recent Events In The Middle East

See The Middle East Uprisings, their Economies, and the World Economy-Becker. He discusses many issues. Here is one excerpt:

"Saudi Arabia and Turkey have the highest index of overall economic freedom of any of the larger MENA countries (Middle East and North Africa). Their levels of economic freedom place them in the “moderately free” category. Then come Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia, with indexes in the “mostly unfree” category. Syria and Yemen have even less freedom, while Iran and Libya are close to the bottom of all 179 countries considered, with indexes of economic freedom in the “economically repressed” category."
