"Divided into four parts and comprising Tarek Heggy's writings on the Egyptian mind, this volume makes an attempt to diagnose the illnesses of contemporary Egyptian political and socio-economic actuality and prescribe two solutions: a liberal political system and a modern market economy."@en
"Part I of this volume, The Values of Progress, endeavours to prove the existence of three intellectual horizons: the horizon of cultures; above that the horizon of civilizations; and above both the horizon of humanity. This part gives solid evidence that "progress" is a product of the horizon of humanity. Part II comprises Tarek Heggy's writings on the Egyptian mind. Part III is an attempt to diagnose the illnesses of contemporary Egyptian political and socio-economic actuality and prescribe two solutions: a liberal political system and a modern market economy driven by an advanced cadre that represents the best of modern management techniques. Part IV provides a full-scale criticism of the theory and practices and accurately predicted, in the 1970s, the collapse of the socialist system."@en
