Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Roman Economy: The lives of the 90% | Kimberly Bowes with Javier Mejia
Q: What about Finley's view of the Roman economy?
Bowes critiques Finley's notion that there is no distinct Roman economy, arguing that economic activity is far broader and more complex than his model allows.
The Roman Economy: The lives of the 90% | Kimberly Bowes with Javier Mejia
Q: How should we think about the income or wealth distribution in the Roman world?
Bowes emphasizes that the concept of the 90% refers to those making a living through manual labor and not strictly defined by modern income brackets, pointing out the lack of robust data for understanding wealth distribution in ancient Rome.
A History of Women in International Thought | Patricia Owens with Javier Mejia
Q: What are the challenges that the field of International Relations is currently facing?
The challenges include a continued Eurocentric bias in scholarship and a need for more inclusive approaches to represent diverse global perspectives and voices.
A History of Women in International Thought | Patricia Owens with Javier Mejia
Q: Can you tell me more about the failure of International Relations as an intellectual project?
The failure stems from the marginalization of historical method, the lack of focus on race and empire, and the erasure of women's contributions which are crucial to understanding current global issues.
The Economics of Prehistory | Ola Olsson with Javier Mejia
Q: What are the critical elements of the Neolithic transformation?
The choice to settle down had profound implications for investment, social organization, and ultimately the rise of states.
