I have read (and liked) Mokyr's Enlightened Economy, on the link between industrialisation and British intellectual movements, but can't speak to the paper that actually won the Nobel

Gittens definitely not better than Garnacho, but he did show flashes after coming on tbf!

This had nothing to do with FFP - we're talking basically immaterial amounts of money to Chelsea's overall finances here. More accurately the sale was just a way to get him game time without using up a loan spot - but once Guiu got recalled that didn't matter, hence the loan to Swansea instead.

No this was just an idle thought I had whilst trying to come up with a way to describe the first half to my dad

Realised whilst watching Brighton Forest that 'agricultural' and 'industrial' mean basically the same thing in footballing terms. Are there any subtle differences between the two? Why have such historically antithetical modes of production come to be a shared shorthand for shanked clearences etc?
