N2  -  The author approaches the economic modernization of Egypt from the  perspective of population, policy, and means. Beginning with a review of  Egypt's evolving economy prior to World War II, he demonstrates that the  Revolution of 1952 that brought the Army Free Officers to power did not  produce an immediate or radical break with past policies on the part of the  government. Only through a trial-and-error process did the philosophy of  state socialism come to be adopted by President Nasser. The ultimate intent  of the author is to provide an overall assessment of the final economic  changes brought about by Nasser during his 18 years of "autocratic rule."
