| Sumario: | "In the years following Nasser's rise to power, the demographic landscape and the economy of Egypt underwent a profound change.

With rigorous analysis of the types of companies that were set up by Jewish and Greek communities residing in Egypt, Abdullhaq draws out the changes which were occurring in the political and social sphere of the time.
