Office Hours with Timur Kuran on Economic Development in the Islamic World

[bulbuliya]

I wish Mr Kuran had touched on the role of colonialism in the lagging behind of the Middle-East econimically.

@bulbuliya Colonialism didn't do it. One of the reasons the middle-east was colonised by western powers is because they already lagged behind economically. I think he talks about it in his book the long divergence. Nothing against the middle-east!
