Commodity histories show that salt was not always the easily available resource it is today; it had to be striven for; it required effort and ingenuity (perhaps even wit). It created trade and war; it was used as pay and exploited as a tax. A beautifully written piece about the history and alchemy of salt. Dense and long, so you may need to save it for later or read it in little bits. aaroncheak/hermetic-problem-of-salt
