Abstract: Timur Kuran, an American of Turkish origin, born in 1954 in New York City, grew up in Ankara and Istanbul, graduated from Robert College in Istanbul in 1973, and obtained Ph.D from Stanford University. He taught at the University of Southern California from 1982 to 2007, holding the King Faisal chair in Islamic Thought and Culture from 1993 onward. Presently he is Professor of Economics and Political Science, and Gorter Family Chair in Islamic Studies at Duke University. Kuran is an author well-known in the circle of Islamic economists for his relentless attempts to correct certain courses of development in the discipline. Although it is not necessary to agree with him, one can learn some lessons from his writings. --
