Poets and Princes



 Wealth, Power and Freedoms in the Arab World
 

Is it because we don’t know or that we ignore the deep-seated correlation between terrorism and violations of women’s rights?

What could be an impediment to changing one provision in the Arab legislation that can save the lives of thousands in the Arab countries and around the world every year?

How come our civilization that once boasted the construction of the biggest library of its time and produced the most renowned philosophers and scientists is now reduced to a wing at the Louvre museum?

Why the massive flow of money in the Arab region did not produce any impact on culture, democracy or social development?

Do we even have freedoms enough to question our beliefs?

Whose fault is it, the governments, the conservative movements? Or the civil society and liberal activists?

Find out the answers to these questions through the intriguing analysis, intimate account and first-hand information on the inside of the Arab society to be released for the first time with the intention of becoming a major instigator for change.
