Well, lots. Here, for your perusal, are some scattered items that have crossed my mental plain recently.
The Origins of World War I. Was it really the end for the ancien regime in Europe as Arno Meyer would have us believe? I would tend to agree, but would also say that different countries have different systems and different developments. Can it be that simple?
Praxeology. This man's ideas are fascinating.
Postmodernism, relativism and the study of history. I agree with the ideas of Professor Winschuttle in principle, but he comes off as somewhat of a polemicist. How can we engage these brutalizers of the discipline and beat them at their own game? Or have they structured it so that they always win? Or was Henry Ford right when he said history "is just one goddamned thing after another?"
Immanuel Wallerstein. Over-simplistic or brilliant argument of synthesis?
Just lettin' you know what has got a hold of my brain banana.
How about you?
