Tunisia Moves Closer to Free Markets, إن شاء الله

A few weeks ago I referred to Tunisia wishing to become another Hong Kong.  And it may be getting closer.  You see, Hong Kong has tremendously wealthy people, but no one with political power concentrated in his hands.  In Tunisia, the president and his family are accused of being heavy-handed, by rioters who are bringing down his government.

It will be interesting to see of Tunisia is able to move to a freer market, without the chaos that often attends revolutions.

As an aside, I wrote a book review on an Islamic nonviolent movement based in the Walidom of Swat, that coordinated with Gandhi.  The Tunisians will get to a free market through nonviolence the fastest and cleanest, insh'Allah.
