The Orientalist
Author: Tom ReissPublisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0812972767
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
A thrilling page-turner of epic proportions, Tom Reiss’s panoramic bestseller tells the true story of a Jew who transformed himself into a Muslim prince in Nazi Germany. Lev Nussimbaum escaped the Russian Revolution in a camel caravan and, as “Essad Bey,” became a celebrated author with the enduring novel Ali and Nino as well as an adventurer, a real-life Indiana Jones with a fatal secret. Reiss pursued Lev’s story across ten countries and found himself caught up in encounters as dramatic and surreal–and sometimes as heartbreaking–as his subject’s life.

Book Description
This research note updates selected charts from three previous papers. The new data present a rather startling picture, suggesting that the Middle East - and the global political economy more generally - might face an important crossroads. Our assessment here rests on the analysis of capital as power, or CasP. Beginning in the late 1980s, we suggested that, since the late 1960s, the Middle East was greatly influenced by the capitalized power of a Weapondollar-Petrodollar Coalition - a loose coalition comprising the leading oil companies, the OPEC cartel, armament contractors, engineering firms and large financial institutions - whose differential accumulation benefitted from and in turn helped fuel and sustain Middle East "energy conflicts". These conflicts, we argued, reverberated far beyond the region: they affected the ups and downs of global growth, the gyrations of inflation and, in some important respects, the very evolution of the capitalist mode of power. And this impact, it seems to us, is now being called into question.
