Unfortunately economics has a bad reputation. Its policy prescriptions are often seen as unfair, and its methods based on a world of fanciful assumptions. In its application in the public sector, it is often seen as being entirely focused on cost-cutting, not only trimming fat, but bone too. It is devoid of all humanity, treating […]

Later, when looking at broader trends that year, I was surprised by the sustained intensity of crises that also arose in three other areas of national life: Ireland, the ‘Condition of England’ and the railways. Deep concern about each […]

Based on the restrospective account that has been introduced by How to write Early Christian History. From Reception to Retrospection (CUP, 2019), and tested by four case studies, the present book studies early Christian historiographers, asking two questions: How did […]

Historians are people of the paper, always hoping for the revelation of some remarkable event sitting unremarked upon in an archival page. We are equally sure that such revelations are rare, and usually the products of many dozens of hours of toil. With Gruesome Looking Objects, I discovered the thread of the story in about […]
