The Ottoman Empire
Economics
This is a consolidation of what I've done in past years to keep my brain active. Prior to 2021, I merely archived all the prior years' pages, reviews and all. Partly to not run into my 100 page limit, but also because the number of pages made finding specific entries in the archives difficult to find. Now I'll just keep the detail for current and the preceding year only. Note that DVDs are generally sets from "The Great Courses"
