Reviews
To better explain the vitality of Middle Eastern society in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Gran had literally not only to make a survey for other evidences of creativity, but in the process also, nearly singlehandedly, create a whole new paradigm of explanation. . . . The work is outstanding in many ways: in the originality of conception and vision; in clarity and logic of presentation; and in its excellent synthesis and revision of major frameworks of understanding change and the nature of change., This is an important and stimulating book that challenges the ethnocentric notion that modernist thought and a capitalist economy could only be transferred to the peripheral states through direct contact with the European center. Peter Gran argues that the capitalist transformation of the Egyptian economy was begun by Muslim merchants and Mamluk rulers in the eighteenth century. . . . Gran's book, required reading for students of modern Middle Eastern history, is a pioneering study into the intellectual and economic history of Egypt.
