A new review of Before the West by Carla Norrlöf (together with Bill Thompson's American Global Pre-Eminence) Perspectives on Politics | Cambridge Core - bit.ly/4ahJ8Mu

J.C. Sharman & Ayşe Zarakol argue slavery played an important role in state-building and international order formation. They identify two slave-based paths of state construction, 'slaves as the state' and 'slaves under the state.'

Some telling comparisons:

The revenue of the #Mongol /Ilkhanid city of #Tabriz (1.4 million dinars/4.2 million francs) in 1336 was greater than the *entire* budget of the crowns of #England (4 million francs) and #France (3 million francs) in 1300 and 1311 respectively.

I think there is a fondness for unwritten rules the probing of which immediately marks you as a class outsider or foreigner and simultaneously causes a double-down effect. The govt explicitly telling everyone what to do: not so much

My point exactly!

Our article on plague, the Mongols, and textual evidence (or to be precise, the lack of textual historical evidence for a 13th-century plague outbreak in Baghdad and Syria, transmitted by the Mongols) is finally out! very excited to see what you'll think.
