One thing to look at is the level of professionals that cannot find work in their chosen profession or that feel marginlized. There seems to be a greater correlation there than in simple economics.
It seems to me that the better-functioning the economy, the lower the unemployment of professional labour.

The question to me is, if I'm an Arab, "What benefit is democracy going to have for me?" In other words, "Why should I change everything I believe in, thousands of years of traditions, because you say so?"
I absolutely agree (typical!), and this is why I think that Standard of Living in the ME will play an important role in the success of Democracy.
