Abstract

US-directed debt relief following the Gulf War helped convince the Mubarak regime that the time was ripe to abolish the tenancy law, as demanded by Egypt's large landowners. This may be a first step in replacing small peasant production with larger-scale capitalist enterprise, but it is by no means certain it will be economically rational, and there is no sign that tenants were part of the debate. -Author
