‘Every plant of civilisation creates a state of strict bondage’.
Braudel is referring here to cultivation requirements, but there is another kind of bondage - think opium, coca, sugar, tobacco ...

‘ ... it is undeniable that brandy, rum and agua ardiente were Europe’s poisoned gifts to the civilisations of America ... the Indian peoples suffered tremendously from the alcoholism in which they were encouraged to indulge ... state revenue from pulque in New Spain was equal to half the revenue from the silver mines! It was deliberate policy on the part of the new masters. ‘

Yep, capitalism & imperialism suck!

Reading the section on epidemics - not too comforting reading right now .... clearly Boris Johnson’s appalling government (and the other recent Tory leaderships) hadn’t read this book when they stood down adequate pandemic safeguards... 😡

A quote very pertinent to our current predicament, both with regard to climate change and to the pandemic:
‘We should bear in mind the congenital frailty of man compared to the colossal forces of nature.’
