I gave my version, at length: You have to look at the specifics of local
history and you have to synthesize that with a world system dimension.
That's concretely how for example to account for the onset of industrial
capitalism in England. In the process of this discussion,   I criticised the
notion that everything happened in some mysterious way in 'the English
countryside': this is not an explanation in value-theory terms and it
doesn't fit the historical facts either. You never responded to these
points, and that's how the discussion ended. I don't want to have it again,
it'd be like groundhog day or a seminar with Zizek on Lenin.
