I referred to the ...the sparsely occupied and undeveloped Sinai... and you replied: "Sparsely occupied"? Perhaps after Israel drove a million and a half people out in the War of Attrition. I referred to the Sinai which has never had such a substantial population - it has always been sparsely occupied. The war of attrition was a tactic Egypt chose -the idea was to force Israel to keep reserves mobilized. South Korea succeeded with large trade barriers and a centrally-planned economy, like Japan. Yes they did employ protective barriers to protect their industry. Nevertheless, industry was maintained in private hands, not nationalized as was the case in Egypt.
