<strong>Fruit and vegetable prices have spiked recently,<\/strong> Domestic Trade Authority Chairman Ibrahim El Ashmawy told Hona Al Asema. He blamed the increase on the nation\u2019s poor logistics network, which he says plays a role in ensuring staple commodities are available at stable prices (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cF0Kwa7d8pg\">watch, runtime: 7:26<\/a>). The Supply Ministry has been looking to collaborate with the private sector to build logistics centers and was said to have issued <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/25\/supply-ministry-to-issue-tender-to-establish-27-logistics-centers-in-august\/\">a tender last August<\/a> to build 27 new facilities across the country, starting in Upper Egypt. The Farmer Syndicate\u2019s Hussein Abdel Rahman blamed a sharp rise in potato prices on some farmers\u2019 monopolistic practices (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YcbRy0l66Gg\">watch, runtime: 3:06<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Televisions, though, should be getting cheaper. <\/strong>Custom duties on TV sets have been slashed by 20%, which should help reduce their prices in the coming period, Customs Authority boss El Sayed Negm told Amr Adib on El Hekaya (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p0vAV2Ud9AQ\">watch, runtime: 1:02<\/a>). Negm and Adib also chatted about <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/issues\/2018\/09\/13\/new-tariffs-dont-violate-wto\/#tldr-story-01\">electric vehicles being exempt<\/a> from import duties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wPsoQVr5fy8&t=92s\">watch, runtime: 2:59<\/a>) and the zero-tariff policy on EU cars that is expected to come into effect in January 2019 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oM7bfrPSisY\">watch, runtime: 4:22<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the whole electric vehicles being customs exempt: <\/strong>We spoke with a couple of guys who are both very smart and very big players in the field. They reminded us that the new \u201czero customs duties\u201d on electric vehicles isn\u2019t \u2026 new. \u201cThere are no duties now on electric vehicles because there were never duties on electric vehicles,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tanzania\u2019s USD 3 bn hydroelectric dam will take up to four years to construct,<\/strong> according to El Sewedy Electric CEO Ahmed Elsewedy. Construction on the project, for which Arab Contractors won the mandate, is expected to start in five months\u2019 time. Some 1,000-2,000 Egyptian laborers will be going to Tanzania to work on the dam, he added (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iYJh6LTFJFI\">watch, runtime: 3:39<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>State Information Service head Diaa Rashwan was still on the air last night defending Egypt against allegations of organ theft. <\/strong>Rashwan once again confirmed that organs belonging to a British tourist who died in Egypt were not \u201cmissing,\u201d as UK news outlets alleged, but were removed as part of an autopsy and would be returned to his family (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3RzuYsQ2kz4\">watch, runtime: 5:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life is slowly returning to normal in North Sinai, <\/strong>with schools and universities opening their doors to students, Governor Mohamed Shousha told Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary. He explained that security is now under control in the area, to a large extent, and said that he expects the governorate to be safe and violence-free by the end of 2018 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=52lbLbnKrEM\">watch, runtime: 10:57<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Coptic Church has four months to legalize the status of some 120 buildings, <\/strong>as per new legislation<strong>, <\/strong>Rev.

Or so Walter Scheidel argues in his book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-Leveler-Inequality-Twenty-First-Princeton-ebook\/dp\/B07CSGGZJG\">The Great Leveller: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vienna-born historian concludes that (the Great Depression aside) <strong>financial crises and political reforms seldom have a major impact on bridging the gap between the poor and rich<\/strong>, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/books-and-arts\/2017\/03\/02\/the-lessons-of-violence-and-inequality-through-the-ages\">book review by The Economist<\/a>. Scheidel notes that democracy and popular social movements have also largely proven ineffective. Large scale conflict and warfare, however, have proven effective at equalizing the economic scales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Change could be driven by non-human intelligence, collapse of a civilization? <\/strong>The Austrian author doesn\u2019t see the kind of catastrophes that have historically lead to a decline in inequality happening any time soon. Scheidel suggests however that the future might usher in more possibilities for change, perhaps one led by non-human intelligence or a civilisational collapse.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/policy\/\">policy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"623232\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"623232\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/23\/from-guided-missiles-to-guided-ubers-the-history-of-gps\/\">\r\n                            From guided missiles to guided ubers, the history of GPS                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/10\/23\/from-guided-missiles-to-guided-ubers-the-history-of-gps\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
