A fascinating intelligence briefing on world systems theory, some of its thinkers and, some of the debates within the field! This episode will hopefully help us in considering HOW we think about history, and how we analyze the driving force of events in the world. We're joined by the esteemed Professor Ariel Salzmann, historian of Islamic and world history.

Ariel Salzmann is a professor of Islamic and world history at Queen's University, and her research addresses theories of state formation, histories of Mediterranean communities and Muslim societies, the transformation of market systems and the making of global capitalism. Her new book, The Exclusionary West: Medieval Minorities and the Making of Modern Europe,will be out in September: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/the-exclusionary-west/
