More about the book

The book explores the origins of capitalism in Egypt, asserting that it was Muslim merchants and Mamluk rulers in the 18th century who initiated this economic transformation, rather than European influence. By challenging ethnocentric views, it provides a fresh perspective on the development of capitalist economies in peripheral states, highlighting the significant role of local actors in shaping economic systems.
