So what is your explanation as to why the West charged ahead, but the Middle East stagnated?
- UncleMeat 10y agoIts the wrong question, which is why you don't tend to find a lot of respected historians writing books that seek to answer this question. A lot of assumptions are baked into this question that historians do not think are valid. The sort of "why the west won" pop history makes experts cringe in the same way that articles on AI hysteria might make experts here cringe.
