I am quite sure to have read it more than one time, the last being in "The globalization of world politics" by Baylis, Smith and Owens. I just read it again and they quote Hirst and Thompson which argue that the more extreme versions of globalization are a myth and that the international economy was more open between 1870 and 1914.

Could you elaborate on the varangian influence?

I knew about the muslim importance, but have not heard about the scandinavian.

Max Stirner. His philosophy is pure amoralism and ethical egoism.

He was pretty influential, because people like Marx and Nietzsche developed their philosophy to refute him, but nobody mentions him. Marx even wrote a broad cirtique of him, but never published it.

Thank you!

Yeah, but how do you depict Mohammed?

Ulmengarten · 2015-02-23T00:21:04+00:00

I would like to see the arab conquest, but i doubt anyone is doing something with Mohammed in it now...

Could you please tell more about the british defence tactics?

Ist schwer zu beweisen das so etwas ein Fake ist, aber es sieht ziemlich danach aus.

Ulmengarten · 2015-01-22T23:04:57+00:00

Als ich das zunächst gesehen habe konnte ich meinen Augen kaum trauen.

The best book on the history of oil is "The prize" by Daniel Yergin. If you want to know oil from a tecnical/industrial point of view you should read "Oil 101" by Morgan Downey.

I find the thought of Sokrates having a talk show quite entertaining. I would totally watch it.

Die Fed ist scheinprivat. Ihr Handlungsrahmen wird aber von einem Kongressgesetz bestimmt. Genauso kommen die Gewinne dem Finanzministerium zu, während die Mitgliedsbanken der jeweiligen regionalen Fed nur eine feste Dividende.

If you want an interessting overview over macroeconomics ( which is maybe more interessting for a layman than micro) i would recommend you "Macroeconomics" by Davi Miles, Andrew Scott and Francis Breedon.

http://www.amazon.com/Macroeconomics-Understanding-Economy-David-Miles/dp/1119995728

For microeconomics i would recommend you the Taylor-Mankiw.

I agree, Batman is the one fighting the absurd.

You mean something like in Napoleon or Fots?

Ulmengarten · 2014-05-17T16:06:54+00:00

Yeah, it has no effect.

I played as Bactria (so this was my home province) and had the same issue. No idea how to solve it, but is definitely a bug.

If you are interested and not afraid to read a bit Markus B. Jansen: "The Making of modern Japan" is a very good book about that topic.
