March 11 (Bloomberg) -- Nezar AlSayyad, chair of the Center for Mideast Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, talks about demonstrations in Saudi Arabia. Protesters in Saudi Arabia stayed away from a so-called Day of Rage after police were deployed in force to deter political activists. Saudi Arabia has tried to calm oil markets and avoid political upheaval with $36 billion of jobless benefits, education and housing subsidies and debt write-offs. AlSayyad speaks with Mark Crumpton on Bloomberg Television's "Bottom Line." (Source: Bloomberg)
