So the English stole a bunch of Irish land and gave it to English landowners. Plan was for them to recruit English tenants to farm.

But the new owners realized they could charge much higher rents to the Irish who wanted to stay on their land than to new English recruits.

King James was pissed.

Hansa territory basically defined by the rivers Rhine, Weser, Elbe, Oder, Vistula and southern Baltic coast. Bordered in south by the Main and the Ore/Giant/Carpathian mountains

Sometime back I made a (wildly incomplete) map of economists and their influence (green), mentorship (blue), and disputes (red).

Focus is on the heterodox schools and the relations between them.

Impact of the Austrian line is astounding.
