In the upcoming elections, Egyptians have been given a nonchoice between candidates that are both likely to uphold the neoliberal policies of the past two decades.
Nearly a third of all Egyptians live below the poverty line, and the unemployment rate is as high as 25%. As part of EUROPP’s coverage of the European neighbourhood, Jason Hickel argues that the Freedom and Justice Party is set to reproduce more of those policies which led to the country’s economic demise; Egypt’s deregulated market capitalism only benefits the country’s elites and foreign corporations.
