Just started this last night and only got as far as Preface + 1st Chapter but I'm already enjoying it. Been meaning to read this for ages so thanks for the impetus to finally get around to it. In the brief overview of ancient Chinese politics, I thought it was kind of interesting that the Confucianists were pretty much liberals, the Legalists were pretty much conservatives, and the Huns seemed to fill the same role (or at least same rhetorical role) as radicalized Muslims (or, more generally, the "other" role). Doesn't actually have much to do with salt but I found it interesting and a bit depressing.
