While Europe worked, China and Islam did nothing good,
By Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unbound Prometheus: Technological Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present (Paperback)
I read this book, here in Brazil.This book is good and easy to read.The main idea of this book is that while Europe (and also its son:USA) worked, Islam and China did nothing.In Islam, the religion bought and today bringhs everything linked to VII Century, in the Dark Ages.In China, bad government stoped everything.
This book has some failures.One of them are the anti-catholic prejudices, that the author has.At the conclusion, the author claims that in Brazil, catholics are servants to the protestants.Nonsense.In Brazil such as every place of latin America, protestantism is almost the same as pentecostalism.And no other religious group is so poor , criminal and luckless in all latin America, as the protestants or the pentecostals, if you prefer to name them. There's even jokes about protestantism here in Brazil.One joke: A poor + a bible = another protestant.Another joke:a crook + a temple = another uselesss pentecostal cult. |
