Tom Friedman looks at "Fayyadism," using the success of the Palestine Securities Exchange as a hook.
My only quibble: it would've been nice to note Benjamin Netanyahu's unacknowledged role in the West Bank's economic revival.
The MSM's loathe to admit it, but Bibi and Salaam Fayyad have very similar approaches to building the West Bank economy. I suggest reading Friedman in light of Fayyad and Netanyahu's remarkably similar commentaries from December, 2008.
