Considering making this book a DNF after a glaring historical error.
He quotes a 1762 statute issued by King George II as evidence of how corn was highly prized, with the apparent obliviousness to the reality that corn was a broader term for grain in Britain. When they talk about the repeal of the corn laws in Britain, the cost of wheat for bread was actually central to the debate. What else is he getting wrong?
