Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1).

It was believed that production, export and monopoly capitalist expansion would increase the wages and labor demand. However, imperialism was considered a phase of capitalism because it influenced its

Colonial power ruled Egypt for almost a hundred years, exploiting and extracting as much wealth from Egypt as possible. After this long period of subjection to outside rule, Gamal Abdel Nasser became president of Egypt in 1956. He was the first Egyptian who was a ruler “of the people.” Egyptians, Arab nationalists, and many other world leaders loved Nasser and his leadership. His swift, bloodless takeover and rise to president in conjunction with his smooth, calm speeches gained him popularity. What truly made him infamous was his nationalization of the Suez Canal Company that ended British influence in Egypt. Decades after his death, Nasser is still believed to be “greater than that of many other political leader since the Prophet Mohamed” . However, many of Nasser’s actions demand that his rule be reconsidered. Nasser 's nationalization of the media, repression of political opponents, institutionalized torture of the Muslim Brotherhood, and failure to successfully implement his national planning all suggest that Nasser’s actions contributed to the many economic, political, and military problems Egypt faces today

Three months ago, no one in the world could have expected the collapse of the Egyptian regime as a result of a popular revolution. The Egyptians revolted against the iron-fisted hand of the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, over three main authorities in Egypt, which are the legislative authority, the executive authority, and the judicial authority. Revolutionaries also called for overthrow the Egyptian regime in order to achieve all their aspirations for a better life in Egypt, and this appeared clearly from their daily chant for eighteen continuous days, which was “the people want to bring down the regime.” They realized most of their aims through overthrowing Hosni Mubarak the last Egyptian Pharaoh, and agreed on the transferring of

These are evidence that corporatist system exists in Egypt. Taking Ezz Steel as an example, we can see that Ahmed Ezz was a political figure as well as a businessman. Ahmed Ezz held high ranking political positions and was one of the richest businessmen in Egypt. Ezz steel controlled the steel market in Egypt. "Allegations of corruption, monopolistic practices and illegal obtaining of licenses had surfaced for years around Ezzsteel"(Ammous) and the government was passive about it. The government was "politically influenced" to clear Ezz's name from all the wrongdoing. Ezz took over Alexandria Iron and Steel Company Dekhila (AISCD) which was established in 1982 and owned by state banks and petroleum companies. AISCD used to be the biggest steel producer. Gradually, through political connections and loans, Ezz was able to transform (AISCD) from statist control to his ownership(Ammous). This is a good example to show how Egypt moved from socialism to corporatism. Ezz also benefitted government initiatives and laws which is a clear evidence of
