For centuries following the spread of Islam, the Middle East was far ahead of Europe. Yet, the modern economy was born in Europe. Why was it not born in the Middle East? In this talk, Professor Rubin examines the role that Islam played in this reversal of fortunes. He argues that the religion itself is not to blame; the importance of religious legitimacy in Middle Eastern politics was the primary culprit. This event will take place in Hale 230 at CU Boulder.

Professor Jared Rubin, Co-director of the Institute for the Study of Religion, Economics, and Society at Chapman University
