Notes
1 The following statements illustrate the point: “Building… like nearly everything else in Lebanon …depended almost exclusively on the profit motive.”Google Scholar David Gilmour, ibid., p. 9. “Everything depended on profits,” ibid., p. 12. “Primitive nature of the country,” ibid., p. 13. “Most of the country remained socially and politically backward,” ibid.
2 In the new U.S. edition of Gilmour's book, the author's concluding chapter is revised to take these remarks into consideration.
