In 1970, Egypt had a foreign debt amounting to only US$2.4 billion. Years later especially under the rule of Hosmi Mubarak, the country accumulated as much as US$ 40 billion in debts by 1990 (MiddleEastArab).

Loans from international sources then became the most important government income at this time.

In Prefatory Notes Freud speculates about the political systems of USSR, Italy, and German and concludes that abandoning of the religion, as it is in the Soviet Union, can lead to more freedom, including sexual one but this can be harmful to people because it leads to barbarism. On the other hand, Catholic Church in Italy does its best to protect culture along with other moral issues though it is the enemy of freedom of thought. Then the author speculates about contradictions between the Church and psychoanalysis that cannot exist together in peace. (Freud 89-92)

“They were the first Westerns; the spirit of the West, the modern spirit, is a Greek discovery and the place of the Greeks is in the modern world” (Hamilton 19).

Introduction

Thoreau’s civil disobedience emerges from Thoreau’s refusal to pay church tax claiming that the church has no right to impose tax. His reasoning is that if all institutions were to present their tax bills to the government, then he would be bound to pay his; but, there is no justification for “taxing the schoolmaster to support the priest” (Thoreau 49).
