“Cowen has recommended Graham Robb's account of pre-modern France on Marginal Revolution as an example of the kind of economic history he most values — granular, place-specific, attentive to what gets lost when you aggregate. The book's core argument, that France was not really France until the late 19th century, is a useful corrective to national-history narratives.”Tyler Cowen
