About The Book
Nasr presents the peaceful course for defeating terrorism and bringing stability and democracy to the Middle East
Combining historical narrative with eye-opening on-the-ground research, "Meccanomics" introduces a Muslim world we've never seen before; one that is being transformed by booming economies and a vibrant middle class that will tip the balance away from extremists. This groundbreaking analysis from the author of the "New York Times'" best-selling "The Shia Revival", offers a powerful reassessment of a world where financial might - not fundamentalism - is doing the talking.
