4.0 out of 5 stars
what a hoot!,
By m_noland "m_noland" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Islam & Capitalism (Paperback)
What a blast from the past! -- they don't write them like this anymore. Originally published in French in 1966, French Arabic-speaking Marxist takes on all comers (most prominently Max Weber) on the topic of Islam and capitalism. Tendentious, polemical, caustic: it brightened up my afternoon. The "About the author" blurb says that Rodinson spent seven years teaching high school in Lebanon -- I'd bet those kids came out bent. I'd love to see Rodinson and Samuel Huntington locked in a room. An intellectual steel cage death match. Probably could sell tickets and broadcast it on CSPAN (even I don't think that they're quite ready of pay-for-view). What did you say about clash of civilizations? Hats off to translator Brian Pearce.
