Mann’s discussion of spanish colonization perhaps best illustrates his simplified, neoliberal understanding of the process of globalization. In academia, this idea goes back at least forty years and is known as the columbian exchange.

For much of 1493, mann’s rigid ideology subtly guides his reading of history, but there are moments where this becomes more explicit. The problem with the audio version is that the professional actor who reads it has no emotional involvement.
