Categories: Business & Money, Politics & Social Sciences

James A. Harmon, chairman of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund, writes with Cornelius Queen and Mark Warren about the fund, a congressionally funded investment vehicle that backed Egyptian private enterprise in the years after the 2011 revolution. The book describes how the fund partnered with Egyptian stakeholders to invest in promising companies and support entrepreneurship, contributing to nearly 70,000 jobs while nearly doubling its original investment. The authors present it as a model of economic partnership and a case for soft power.
