About the Event:

Benedikt Koehler, '76, is giving a book talk on Early Islam and the Birth of Capitalism on 13 January 2015. Benedikt argues Muhammad and his early successors created the world's first real pro-market society, and capitalism came to Europe when merchants from Italy imported business practices from Islam.

A short summary of the book is available here:
