Middle Eastern Oil producing countries
We have a large number of students from the Middle East, mainly Saudi Arabi, in this class.

DaronAcemoglu and Jane Robinson argue that such a system is unsustainable in the long run; are they right? Can such a system satisfy the demand of the population, especially the young who are educated abroad and have access to the internet?
