Our book is out. A lot of newly discovered facts, very few grand theories or wanton opining. I really hope you'll like it and use it. Thanks to everyone, incl. the dog that sabotaged my selfie. #whereisgrotius .

The census bibliography of Grotius’ De iure belli ac pacis we’ve been working on for 5 years now has a website: Pricey but 752pp, 99% newly discovered facts, 1% analysis, none of my boring opinions. @pablo_dufour @EdJonesC @EmanueleSalern5 @MPILheidelberg.

Congratulations!!!.
Odious Debt is out now! 🪙 2024 is all about debt and the looming fear of bankruptcy. This book shows how debt and bankruptcy came to structure international relations, with a focus on Latin American history (1550s-1920s). 1/24.
