O'Brien's book of the same name is great. I've been following his commentary through the (most recent) Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it's been impressive. He's been consistently one of the voice saying this wasn

It's very easy to take these circumstances and give it a different spin. How about individuals are more receptive to ideas from their peers. In college they are exposed to more political ideologies, and they adopt the best ones, which

But there certainly were Scandinavian explorers, conquerors, and mercenaries. And these pushed into non-Scandinavian territories across Europe in a way that reshaped the political landscape at the time. For example, the Normans set up kin

That sounds nice but is impossible. Privileged influence oozes over the university system and pretending it doesn't or just trying to eliminate the biases that help the disadvantaged only serves to increase the advantages that the pri

This article isn't about the horrors of slavery. It's about economic history. It makes reference to slavery in that context without discussing it in detail. A better analogy would be an article about why Israel is an economic s

Do you think the slaves were willing participants in this exchange?

I don't see your point. The quote in question in no way implies slavery didn't exist in Africa at the time, and the fact that slavery did exist in Africa in no way alleviates the immorality of the transatlantic slave trade. (I gu

This sounds like one of those papers that got published with just barely "significant statistical evidence" but never had follow-up to verify, meaning you can't really draw conclusions for it.
