Presents a rebuttal of the cultural reductionism of Max Weber and others who have tried to explain the politics and society of the Middle East by reference to some unchanging entity called ‘Islam, ‘ typically characterised as instinctively hostile to capitalism. This work looks at the facts, analysing economic texts with his customary common sense.
