This article aims to analyze the economic development policies in Egypt. Egypt, as an oilpoor country but rich in agricultural and human resources shows many similar characteristics with other countries in the region, like Syria and other developing countries in other regions. This article follows the analysis of Richards and Waterbury that underlines the continuous interaction between economic development, state and social actors as well as the assumption that politics drives economics in the Middle East. In this context how the Free Officers that came to power in 1952 created new social classes through the economic development model and how those actors in later years became an impediment for liberalization will be analyzed.
