| Abstract | The fourth session in a strand sponsored by the Anarchist Approaches to the Middle Ages group. Following a successful round table discussion on this theme at IMC 2019, attended by an international group of medievalists from all career stages, this strand is an experiment in rethinking the ideology and political economy of the state, with particular emphasis on Fatimid Egypt, 12th-century England, and financial markets. |
