I'd love to read something similar about how taxation and the management and securement of (moving or fixed) gold/money reserves worked back then in practice.

- shakezula 4y agoAgreed. The author makes a few comments in the second part of the series about how ships of gold were the main way to ferry money around and how if that went wrong it had sweeping consequences, too. Would be a really interesting series fro this author.
- cwillu 4y agoI believe his fall of rome series has more on this; specifically about how there are multiple stable attractors in the economic capacity space. There's also the series on the defense of cities, the series on bread and the one on clothing. Oh, and the series on steel production. You know what? Just read everything he's written.
- danielheath 4y agoRecommend Scott’s “Against The Grain” for that! Chapter four specifically.
