本书系统梳理了19世纪肥沃新月地带（今伊拉克、叙利亚等地）的经济史，汇编并翻译了154份多语种原始文献，涵盖社会、贸易、交通与金融，适合研究中东经济史的学者参考。
This is the first systematic economic history of the Fertile Crescent throughout the nineteenth century, a region encompassing what is now Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and a small part of Turkey. Charles Issawi, an authority on the Middle East, has compiled and edited a comprehensive selection of documents from sources in English and seven other languages (all translated), the majority published here for the first time. His own substantive chapter introductions and the 154 selections cover all aspects of nineteenth century economic life in the region: social life and organization, trade, transport, and public and private finance.
