    The fact that this playbook was developed during the early days of the enclosures:

    “In September 1565, in Antwerp, “while the poor were literally starving in the streets,” a warehouse collapsed under the weight of the grain packed in it (Hackett Fischer 1996:88).”

    Bands of wandering, starved workers staging raids on grain-sheds packed to bursting with food being hoarded for market speculation. Can’t wait to relive the post-Black Death era next summer with you all <3
