Ferguson's Theory of Network Science
Ferguson sees history as this tension back and forth between these types of networks. He's trying to understand history through network science. Ferguson has a different style. I call it hyper erudition. There's some actual formal network science cited in this book, where he'll really talk about an analysis that was done of the social networks of various governments and groups. And a lot of it, though, is more discursive, more hymjs,. talking about and giving examples that capture this type of dynamic yat play even if it's not being formally analyzed.
