What Bret Devereaux actually said

  1. Bret Devereaux Ancient and military historian specialising in the economy…
    Rather than hard, difficult country being the breeding ground for the state, it is in fact the richest, softest areas that were (for those who have been to Mesopotamia and are wondering why it doesn’t seem quite so rich and soft anymore, the word you want to look up is salinization).
