Chiedo se è tradotto anche in italiano.

To claim that English is a pidgin language is a bit of an exaggeration (which thought I also held for a time). But the two words for the food and the animal, the French-derived one and the Anglo-Saxon, is easily imagined: The French lord ate the food, the Saxon slave dealt with the animal.

Many languages have a similar history, however, for example, Turkish with Persian, Persian with Arabic, and, I would suspect, most of the Romance languages (except Italian, which I call Modern Latin, partly because I find it funny) earlier native language with Latin. And if you go back far enough, and if we knew more, probably most languages have gone through this 'pidginization' process adapting to new rulers or new elites or whatever.

I understand. My former university colleagues (we had a very developed sociolinguistics department) assured me that English certainly was a pidgin, according to the definitions they worked with. It is just a name, and does not imply a value judgment. By the same token, linguistically it is impossible to distinguish between a language and a dialect.

On 17th of January, I ordered MULTIPOLARITY! + How Europe Became American. It shipped from the US, and arrived in Amsterdam NL on the 23rd, looks like the books were on their way to me and then all of a sudden "Initiated customs clearance at destination country." AMS, NL and are sent back...All my other Amazon orders always arrive..... Just to let you know in case it not only happened to me. Perhaps it's just a one-time coincidence.... I'll retry ordering them and see

Since you live in the Netherlands, I think it would be more convenient to order from amazon.co.uk.

Thanks will do.

A small remark on a possible framework for the unification of Europe/Eurasia. Ulrike Guérot makes a compelling case for a Europe of (bio)Regions. With Systemisches Konsensieren* I see a door-opening to a digital future of direct representation to make this work both on small and very large scale....See Felber use SK at 12:00 > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsO-b0_r-5Y )

Wouldn't this be a truly European solution instead of a top-down randomly led or randomly seated imperialism? Unification without sacrificing individual/ local/ regional differences. Because this reservoir of differences is in fact our true collective capital and the very foundation of our collective power. We must just learn how to use it much smarter. A paradox? Not if one can think beyond today's dimensional limitations.
