The high culture was established by a history of Feudalism, WW1 erased most of that.

Unless Europe would return to feudalism (kek) its dead.

Come on /his/ I thought you were obsessed with Catholics

They often put their mission above the interests of nation states or the secular interests of the church.
They could also be pretty underhanded and subversive in their tactics.

>>3283729
As for why the are not now, they cut a lot of that shit out after they happened upon the most subversive tactic of all: founding educational institutions

Atlantis.

Venice, and every non city-state answer is wrong.

Weir focuses on social history, so there's not much of politics, and it is occasionally detrimental because politics were just as important a part of Henry's life as his queens. Your pic related book is primarily social history look at his life in relation to the people in his court, so his friends, mistresses, queens, etc. It's not bad per say but if you're looking at a more well rounded look it's not the best.

Starkey includes more politics in than Weir, but I found him a bit insufferable to read because he spends significant amounts of his books making jabs at other historians--while at the same time making classic mistakes himself, like assuming Chapuys' letters should be taken as gospel truth. He also makes jabs at female historians for focusing so much on the wives... while doing the same thing in his Henry VIII biography.

Ridley's book, by contrast, is the perfect mix. He doesn't neglect politics, but he doesn't neglect the social aspects of Henry's life either. He doesn't consider Henry's most important characteristic his wives, either. I'd consider it "the" biography to read before tackling anything else related to Henry, it provides a great base knowledge.

/his/ doesn't read

most of the chapters are jargony wastes of time, and despite a clever idea the actual evidence is pretty weak. Of the three civs he cites, two practically have no written record and the other one is rome. And even then, he just sort of superimposes the decline of roman currency with the argument that returns must be diminishing! rather than actually prove anything. The marginal returns argument in particular seems to have been a misunderstanding of the term, since he thinks time is the acting component rather than quantity. Also, fuck him for dismissing decadence as mysticism

I always think of the Jewish God as that guy that couldn't defeat iron chariots in Judges or who has a beer with Satan while taking bets how much they could fuck up Job's life in Job.

I'm not an atheist, all kinds of cool shit may exist, but if I ever meet that god then I figure on slapping him around a bit to show him who is boss.

Also how is Jinnah seen in Pakistan today, given that he was a secularist?

>>3282882
He'd probably kill himself.

Much like Ataturk would.
