#6 I am guessing that "prescription" is intended to mean--"do these things or you don't get the dough"? Is that about right?

#7 I certainly hope it works out for Egypt, but...

I remember reading a book a long time ago re Nasser's regime with the following story. Nasser had a German economist come to Egypt for a few months to check the place out and put together a report on how to improve the Egyptian economy. Supposedly, upon the presentation of the report, the economist said,(paraphrase)"Mr. President, I don't know if your economy is growing or contracting, but there is nothing anybody can do about it in any case."
