"Mediterraneans were better off after the collapse of the Western Empire..." That seems to be one theme....
This is hard to envision.
Sounds rather like some globalist economists recently claiming that the whole world was better off under Genghis Khan's Pax Mongolica.
If you don't expect very much at all, if anything, from the different compartmentalized social sciences, anthropology, economics, history, political science, English (Not technically a social science, but one branch of it now often called journalism, a faux social science) sociology, etc., then you are not too disappointed, later.
The Pax Mongolica is a classic example of what I would have expected from economists, and so I was able to cheerfully take it in stride as just another of the countless foibles of the social sciences....
