A new study warns of stagnation in arab societies
“The whole Arab world translates about 330 books annually, one-fifth the number that Greece translates,” the report said. In the 1,000 years since the reign of the Caliph Mamoun, it concludes, the Arabs have translated as many books as Spain translates in just one year.
The Economist summarizes the problem as a lack of freedom, knowledge, and women’s rights.
