Writtenology 6: War, Wine, and Taxes
Added 2023-05-29 09:26:08 +0000 UTCRiley read a book called “War, Wine, and Taxes: The Political Economy of Anglo-French Trade, 1689-1900,” which is all about English free trading self delusions and the origins of the present in strange quirks and corners of the past, and how neoliberal historians are frequently a little Marxist (sort of) without realizing it.
