It doesn’t matter at all, but I don’t like whatever the Journal of Southern History has done with the way it’s printed. The paper feels all wrong and it’s somewhat glossy??

Mercantilism is a go-to conversation topic for me, too. Just met someone? Don't talk about the weather or football. Instead, ask them their thoughts on the Acts of Trade and Navigation, or even how we should define mercantilism and if it is a useful analytic lens at all.
