"Professor Oweiss' book recounts in clear prose the story of an
active and productive life lived largely in two different cultures-
Egyptian (and Middle Eastern) and American. The reader will meet
many interesting personages- well known and not well known-across
seven decades of important changes in the world. Ibrahim Oweiss has
lived quite a life." -Carol Lancaster, Dean of the School of
Foreign Service and Professor of Politics, Georgetown University.
Ibrahim M. Oweiss is an educator and an international economic
advisor. Born in Egypt, he earned his Masters and Ph.D. degrees in
the U.S. As a Professor of Economics, he taught at Georgetown
University for forty two years, and was a visiting professor at
Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University. While on leave
from academia, he was appointed First Under-Secretary for Economic
Affairs in the Egyptian Cabinet. He also served as the Chief of the
Egyptian Economic Mission to the U.S. with the rank of Ambassador.
He authored over sixty scholarly publications, among them:
Petrodollar Surpluses, Arab Civilization, The Political Economy of
Contemporary Egypt, and The Arab Gulf Economies. He coined the
terms "Petrodollar" and "Hostage Capital" in 1974. The "Oweiss
Demand Curve" was first presented at Oxford University in 1982. He
holds Egypt's Order of Merit, First Class, among other decorations.
