Graham Hancock is one of the sources of your book on the IMF (which was great!). I really don’t buy into his recent «Ancient Apocalypse» work. The logical fallacy here is that it affects how I feel about his earlier work on the IMF (even though they are unrelated). Have you received any well-reasoned pushback on using his work as source material? And what is the most interesting feedback you have reveived on Hidden Repression? Looking forward to OFF25!

That's entirely fair. The Lords of Poverty was written before Graham got into any of his writing on ancient civilizations. In fact I think that the story goes he was visiting a site in Ethiopia (?) for humanitarian work when he stumbled on some temple that got him thinking about ancient civilizations. I stand by using The Lords of Poverty as source material and think everyone should read it. See you in Norway!
