Yet both failed to achieve economic development or to lift Egypt from poverty and dependence. The Gamal Abdul Nasser regime (1952-70) inherited an underdeveloped economy with great inequalities. A few rich foreigners and nationals controlled the country’s wealth, from large landed estates to manufacturing and commercial firms, while the bulk of the population was poor and disenfranchised.
