Why is history so Statist?
Here's a question I would like to honestly know the answer to:
Why is history so Statist?
Why is everything about politicians, plans, laws, governments, and even the measure of 'progress' a fucntion of state action and intervention?
Is it because of the bureacracy and the paperwork, where we get the records? Is it because those that win write the history and so state-driven military powers are the focus? Is it because they pay for it and the extra coverage is the tribute?
Anybody, want to take this one?
