Sometimes.

I only got like ten pages into Ogilvie's mega treatise on the guilds, so I'll report back when I've prioritised it

CFA today is definitely quite empty (I have that on pretty good account from insiders). The impact of guilds is ~meh; a little bit of education/furthering knowledge but at the expense of shutting out others. Not empty, then, I guess

I dunno, I can think of the guilds of early modern Europe or the obsession with CFA today, neither of which are directly connected to/caused by a state.

yeah, probably. I wasn't paying attention to Strategy then the way I am right now. No idea if this hunch of mine replicates even this year, let alone a few years ago when they were smaller players

I tried to separate out fiction, cuz no idea how to judge them compared/same category as the nonfiction. Mr. @TotallyHumanWriter is the expert here
