Description
The Emirati Dream is a provocative exploration of how the UnitedArab Emirates became the most successful capitalist experiment in theArab world. Written by Obaid AlZaabi, an Emirati insider with a frontrowseat to his country's transformation, the book weaves historicalnarrative, economic analysis, and political insight to explain why theUAE succeeded where others faltered.Through rich storytelling and data-driven argument, AlZaabi contraststhe UAE's pragmatic, pro-business ethos with the socialist and populistmodels that have dominated the region-from Egypt's Nasserism toIraq's Baathism. He examines the pillars of the Emirati model: opentrade, limited taxation, foreign labor, state-led investment, and strategicneutrality in global affairs. He also reflects on the role of identity,leadership, and ambition in shaping the country's social contract.At once a celebration of the UAE's rise and a critique of its ideologicalalternatives, The Emirati Dream offers a new way of thinking aboutdevelopment, governance, and ambition in the Arab world-and whatthe future might hold for a region at a crossroads.
