“In the case of the United Arab Emirates, at least Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the bankers are in for the long haul. They’re patient fellows. Dubai – built on the shifting sands of a desert – will rise again. Qatar is another one, by the way. This stamp-size country was tapped to ‘own’ the Middle East’s biggest Westernized media franchise – Al Jazeera – and now it’s getting ready to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. The bankers like these funny little countries. They can do what they want with them, and right now they’re building them up. Want a big salary? Take a trip over to the Middle East, find a tiny territory in the middle of a Western building boom and settle down.”
