Cook writes for Salon<\/a>. Cook says that, while there is \u201ca lot of hagiography about Egypt during its so-called liberal period \u2014 roughly the years following World War I through the 1940s,\u201d it has been hard to make the case most of the last 60 years. He sees what he views as an Egyptian decline a warning sign for the US. \u201cAt a level of abstraction, that toxic brew of populist, nationalist, religious politics that combined with cynicism to cause Egypt\u2019s regression is present in American society too,\u201d Cook writes. He looks back to the policies of former presidents Nasser and Sadat, but says with \u201ctheir parochial politics, they manipulated identities, whipped up nationalism and sowed division. The result is an Egypt that has lurched dysfunction ally from one crisis to the next, unable to solve its problems because society has become so deeply polarized, mistrust and cynicism reign, and violence is an ever-present possibility. Unless Americans are careful, Egypt\u2019s present reality could be our country\u2019s future.\u201d<\/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\/egypt-in-the-news\/\">Egypt in the News<\/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=\"643022\" 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=\"643022\">\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\">On Deadline<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/28\/are-ftas-keeping-local-industry-from-benefiting-from-the-current-economic-conditions\/\">\r\n                            Are FTAs keeping local industry from benefiting from the current economic conditions?

Mohamed Abdel Shafie Eissa seems to think so, saying in a column <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/columns\/view.aspx?cdate=27082017&id=375afe62-327e-412f-ad05-691c4b2a7191\">penned for Al Shorouk<\/a> that the EGP\u2019s low value and the decision to bar imports of low-quality goods should have been a godsend for local industry and allowed it to boom over the past couple of years. Alluding to the automotive sector (and the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/02\/automotive-directive-violates-egypts-european-ftas-surkos\/\">drama with the EU<\/a> over the proposed automotive directive), he says the stipulations of some trade agreements run counter to the interests of local industry. Eissa also takes a moment to point a finger of blame at sky-high interest rates, saying they have only further hampered the rise of domestic manufacturing.<\/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\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/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=\"643023\" 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=\"643023\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/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\/2017\/08\/28\/logistics-a-natural-place-for-robots-to-start-stealing-jobs\/\">\r\n                            Logistics \u2014 a natural place for robots to start stealing jobs                        <\/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\/2017\/08\/28\/logistics-a-natural-place-for-robots-to-start-stealing-jobs\/\" 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();

The Financial Times' Michael Pooler takes a look at how this expansion is accelerating in the UK, led by giant companies such as Amazon. While jobs in the logistics sector has continued to grow alongside these developments, many worry that the type of stable employment initially offered by these jobs is becoming rare. Casualization and the gig economy are being tapped, while long-term employment with benefits appears to be dropping. The rise of the machines is also prompting an increase in more technical and require judgement, while manual jobs are on the decline. All of this coincides with declining jobs in retail outlets as more customers move online and rely further on the logistics industry (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hhGad3juAGg\">watch on Youtube, runtime: 4:59<\/a>).<\/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\/worth-watching\/\">worth watching<\/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=\"643025\" 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=\"643025\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">11<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Diplomacy + Foreign Trade<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/28\/foreign-ministry-says-had-no-prior-knowledge-of-the-us-intention-to-cut-aid-as-shoukry-talks-cooperation-in-germany\/\">\r\n                            Foreign Ministry says had no prior knowledge of the US\u2019 intention to cut aid, as Shoukry talks cooperation in Germany                        <\/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\/2017\/08\/28\/foreign-ministry-says-had-no-prior-knowledge-of-the-us-intention-to-cut-aid-as-shoukry-talks-cooperation-in-germany\/\" 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();

The statement refutes reports that Egypt had known about the decision long before it was made, saying Shoukry received the call while in the airport in Lithuania heading back to Cairo from his Russia-Baltic states tour.
