Aryan Household

I've seen this book linked before. Is there any content from it that you would particularly recommend?

I agree with the rest of your assesments, btw. Have you seen my other comment in this thread or considered checking out /s/altreligion?

Perspective and insight on different social norms that are historical relevant to Europeans. The patriarchal structure, every household a corporation, importance of kinship and hierarchy, treatment of in- and out-groups, customs. The whole book is worth reading.

Compared to today, one can see how the state has subverted this institution. No different than outsourcing your own personal safety to police and then having to be dragged into court over a matter than occurred on your property.

Don't know if you watched the mini-series, but in a way the feud between the Hatfield's and the McCoys is how the former system would have dealt with blood feuds.

I read your comment and concur with your thoughts. I subbed to s/altreligion a long time ago. Maybe if there's enough interest we could do a book club of the Aryan Household. It's chunked up quite nicely if you look at the table of contents. The margins are pretty wide too.
