'Yes Men' taking over as the Middle East elite (Khalid Abdulla-Janahi, Al Arabiya)

The middle class should account for a given population’s largest demographic, and define it as a society. Eroding the middle class effectively erodes a society’s existence as a people. Meanwhile, the elite are, traditionally, the leaders. They set the stage for the future, inspiring, setting direction, leading. Eliminating the elite effectively eliminates a society’s future.

The Middle East must take a more strategic view of its investment strategies and focus specifically on the urgent creation of new job opportunities for its people. This is key to our survival into the future.
