This book analyzes the recent development of Gulf capitalism through to the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. Situating the Gulf within the evolution of capitalism at a global scale, Hanieh presents a novel theoretical interpretation of this important region and its profound implications for the Middle East as a whole."--Cover page 4 ER -
