The dominant discourse in economy has a double danger. In addition to its expression, as all dominant discourses, of the interests of prevailing social powers, excluding intentionally the other insights and alternatives; it presents itself, in this case specifically, as an unquestionable technique scientific discourse; because it is based on disciplined accounts and undoubtable mathematical equations. This exactly what this book aspires to expose. For the dominant economic discourse here and everywhere is an ideological discourse saturated with social prejudices, though its coverage with supposed sacristy of numbers and mathematical equations.

Along ten chapters, the book presents an analytical panorama of the Egyptian economy; from the income distribution to the international compactivity, from the investment and formation of new capitalists of favouritism to the distribution of income and wealth, from trade to debts, and from conditions of clerks to the monetary policy. All that comes out of a premise that sees the economic process not as a technical subject only for experts, but as a subject of social conflict where property patterns are linked to the patterns of distributing profits and wealth, where policies are laid out of interests, and where alternatives are offered as an expression of ambitions to change not only policies, but the structures of property and the patterns of administration.
