Making the Tunisian Resurgence

Abstract

The economies of the Arab countries are generally projected to have shown not much inclusive economic growth, especially since the second half of the twentieth century. Keeping in view the state of underdevelopment in their economies, several Arab countries had embarked on economic and financial reforms in collaboration with international financial institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank, in order to overcome their economic difficulties. This book review article sheds light on how the Arab Spring of 2011 resulted in income and wealth inequalities, weak investments, and growing unemployment in Tunisia.
