Description

Why did the modern economy emerge in Europe rather than the Middle East? For centuries after the spread of Islam, the Middle East held a significant lead over Europe, yet the economic reversal changed history. In Rulers, Religion, and Riches, Jared Rubin explores this shift through the lens of political bargaining and religious legitimacy. This book from Cambridge University Press examines how the role of religious authorities in Middle Eastern politics impacted economic development. Rubin argues that the need for political legitimacy gave religious leaders a seat at the bargaining table, which they used to block advancements like the printing press and lending at interest. This work provides a deep look into the historical relationship between religion, politics, and the rise of the modern Western economy.
