The Middle Eastern oil boom during the 1970s-80s led to swift economic growth and increased socio-economic mobility in Egypt. Here, Relli Shechter offers a local version of a wider Middle Eastern and international story: the global formation of middle-class societies, whose members strove for respectable lives with only partial success.
1. Introduction; 2. Working into the middle class; 3. 'Crisis of supply in every household'; 4. 'Provocative consumption'; 5. 'Parasites'; 6. The resurgence of middle-class Islam; 7. Conclusion: socio-economic mobility and discontent.
