Скачать или смотреть Saudi Arabia's Race Against the Clock

Saudi Arabia's economy faces a deadline that no amount of spending can extend. For fifty years, oil revenues built cities, employed citizens, and eliminated the need for competitive industries. Now, with global oil demand set to plateau and youth unemployment above twenty percent, the Kingdom is attempting something few resource economies have ever managed—building a post-oil economy before the oil runs out.

This video examines why Vision 2030's massive infrastructure spending hasn't translated into jobs for Saudi nationals, how decades of guaranteed government employment created a labor market incompatible with diversification, and what history's resource economies reveal about the odds of success. From Dutch Disease to Norway's sovereign wealth fund to Dubai's necessity-driven pivot, the patterns are clear—and Saudi Arabia is fighting against all of them.
