When Europe Became the Measure of Humanity | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most important conclusions I have reached through my engagement with the critique of Eurocentrism in political economy is that there is a major methodological error in reducing European domination of the world, since the beginnings of its modern rise, to technological, military, or even economic superiority. What happened was far deeper than that. A vast system of domination emerged—one that extended into knowledge itself and into the way history was written. We came to face a form of
A Critique of the Spirit That Produced Political Economy | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This work offers a critique of the civilizational foundations that gave rise to political economy as a European social science. It puts forward the hypothesis that the current political economy is the product of a spirit shaped by three fused elements of European civilization: Roman Christianity, Roman imperial glory, and Greek science. These elements collectively structured the way in which modern Europe perceived, conceptualized, and systematized economic phenomena. The article thus deconstruc
From Rent to Genocide: Dissecting the Economic Architecture of War in Sudan | Countercurrents (opens the original)

Read excerpt
The prevailing, entrenched, and intellectually dominant assumption is that capitalism, as an economic system, emerged and developed in Western Europe and from there spread to the rest of the contemporary world. This dominant narrative is rooted in a Eurocentric outlook that has taken the European economy as the benchmark for the development of nations, and European language and culture as the standard of civilization. Within this framework, it has been intellectually impermissible for any other
Why Science Did Not Die? Secrets of the Islamic Mind in Its Golden Age | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do we need in order to construct a building? Beyond suitable land, we undoubtedly require materials of labor (such as iron, sand, cement, etc.) and tools of labor (like cranes, mixers, etc.). We also need labor power, which—through the use of tools—can employ the materials to construct the building.
