The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

at the risk of getting myself in a huge amt of trouble i'll say of course "something may happen" but i don't see how the 2nd part of the 2nd highlighted sentence necessarily follows from the 1st part. The entire snippet is fluff which is why i don't tend to read the 'roundtable' transcripts in Barrons. In anycase, SA has already taken part in the Arab Spring. Women are now allowed to drive. More seriously, most of the Arab nations have not participated in the Arab Spring so the concept is a bit flawed.
