That’s fine lol I got too focused on late 20th century history and I’m not that old, I have a lot of reading to do about general historical trivia too. Like I don’t know about, say, Chinese historical epics and shit, so I’ve been looking that stuff up recently with my brother. Also check out Samir Amin and Andre Gunder Frank and Immanuel Wallerstein and Fernand Braudel if you ever want to get deep into that world systems theory shit. Ancient India and China and western Asia.
Hudson’s work is a big influence of David Graeber who seems more popular on this site due to his presence at Occupy and stuff but I find the writing abt the monetary history of the ancient mediterranean and the roman empire and shit much more compelling.
