People are deluded if they think Saudi Arabia is undergoing reform. It's not. The new prince is nothing more than a tyrant who's concerned that Saudi Arabia will fall due to how dependent it is on oil and is attempting to move towards commerce and free enterprise as a safety net.

This man seems smarter than other dictators, he knows giving the plebs a hint of 'liberalisation' by making some immaterial good noises will help secure his power base among the young and make the despots in the west more receptacle to him.
The liberal left will likely laud this as "progressive" and go on about how Saudi Arabia is turning into a thriving tolerant democracy.
He will be dead before any of his major reforms are put in place
