Rulers, Religion, and Riches: Why the West Got Rich and the Middle East Did Not - Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society
Rubin, Jared (Chapman University, California)
This book discusses the role that Islam and Christianity played in the long-run economic reversal of fortunes between Western Europe and the Middle East. Instead of focusing on the content of the religions, it documents the importance of religious legitimacy in politics as a driving force in the economic divergence.
