The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-development: Sara Roy
“The De-development of the Gaza Strip has arguably reached its logical conclusion with the current, increasingly distorted, reconfiguration of economic activity,” says renowned political economist and Harvard scholar, Dr. Sara Roy. The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-development is the final edition of her much anticipated, comprehensive study of the economy of Gaza. For the first-time, Roy examines the past 15-years in Gaza in detail using economic theory and in-depth political analysis to argue that the de-development of Gaza is leading to unviability. Roy defines de-development, a concept she formulated and defined 30-years ago, as “the systematic dismantling of a normal economy and its rational functioning.”
In this latest edition of The Gaza Strip, Roy enriches this meticulously detailed and pioneering political economy text with an in-depth and shocking reflection and analysis on the wars on Gaza. Written in the aftermath of the 2014 Operation Protective Edge (OPE), Roy serves as a scholar, and witness to unprecedented human, physical, and physiological destruction wrought on Gaza.

Look. If I'm not going to spend an hour and a half watching a video, I'm sure not going to spend that same hour and half reading a book by someone with no expertise in either economics or political science because you recommended it.
If you have a point to make about Gaza's economy - make it.
If you acknowledge that Hamas spends money on things other than the needs of its citizens to alleviate the "inhuman conditions" then we agree that the source of he problem is Hamas and not Israel.Sara Roy (Ph.D. Harvard University) is a senior research scholar at Harvard’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies specializing in the Palestinian economy, Palestinian Islamism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Dr. Roy began her research in the Gaza Strip and West Bank in 1985 with a focus on the economic, social and political development of the Gaza Strip and on U.S. foreign assistance to the region. Since then, she has written extensively on the Palestinian economy, particularly in Gaza, and on Gaza’s de-development, a concept she originated. Dr. Roy is the author of many books and publications, including, The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-development (Institute for Palestine Studies, 1995, 2001, 2016) and Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza: Engaging the Islamist Social Sector (Princeton University Press, 2011, 2014)I'm sure not going to spend that same hour and half reading a book by someone with no expertise in either economics or political science because you recommended it.
Sara Roy has a degree in Education and none in the fields she is writing in.
Now. Did you want to try to deny that Hamas spends millions of dollars on things gas not related to the welfare of her citizens?
