« Hello world!Rising Inflation Creates Unease in Middle East
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/25/world/middleeast/25economy.html?ex=1361682000&en=8cb2753a025809f8&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink
The article I read today “Rising Inflation Creates Unease in Middle East”, was about areas in the Middle East suffering from the recent oil price boom, which has contributed to the extraordinary rise in the cost of foods and other basic goods. This unexpected event that is taken place is unfortunate and is resulting in many uprisings(strikes and occasional riots) from the middle classes of Morocco to the Persian Gulf who are now tilitng towards proverty. Other areas in the Middle East are suffering to such as Jordan “the cost of maintaining fuel subsidies amid the surge in prices forced the government to remove almost all the subsidies this month, sending the price of some fuels up 76 percent overnight. In a devastating domino effect, the cost of basic foods like eggs, potatoes and cucumbers doubled or more”. Another country that is being negatively affected by the inflation is Saudi Arabia where inflation had been virtually zero for a decade, it recently reached an official level of 6.5 percent, though unofficial estimates put it much higher. Public protests and boycotts have followed, and 19 prominent clerics posted an unusual statement on the Internet in December warning of a crisis that would cause “theft, cheating, armed robbery and resentment between rich and poor.” “The inflation has many causes, from rising global demand for commodities to the monetary constraints of currencies pegged to the weakening American dollar. But one cause is the skyrocketing price of oil itself, which has quadrupled since 2002. It is helping push many ordinary people toward poverty even as it stimulates a new surge of economic growth in the gulf”.
My reaction towards this article:
I think that the inflation thats taken place in the Middle East and America is unfortunate. Its sad to hear how everybody suffering and how they are basically going from riches to rags, it sad to see all their friuts of labor go to waste. I think everybody should sacrifice and only spend if neccessary until the economy is back to the way it use to be. I also think that inorder for the economy to do better and save oil people should carpool,take public transportation,and what ever they think would help save gas. I also think that we should use other forms of gases than just one kind to fuel our automobiles therefore there will be a surplus of gas.
