Sadat's imperial lifestyle fueled intense resentment among a populace with a per capita income averaging only $469 a year. And his "open door" economic policy, intended to attract Western capital, served mainly to flood the country with luxury consumer goods and create a new class of millionaire middlemen and hustlers...

Whether the supply-side bonanza will produce the predicted flood of new job-creating capital spending is thus doubtful at best. For all its self-styled radicalism, then, Reaganomics is just old-time Republican fiscal conservatism brushed up with a fresh coat of supply-side paint; in effect, the administration is running a recession to diminish inflation...
