"The Paradoxical Kingdom" shows how religion, tradition, society, economics, politics, and the state interact with each other in Saudi Arabia as the nation lurches into the twenty-first century. The book shows how wealth has been squandered, examines the Arabian equivalent of Asia's infamous 'crony capitalism, ' and considers the durability of the Al Saud dynasty.
