I started reading Ph. T. Hoffman's "Why did Europe conquer the world" and in the first para he writes about W Europe in year 900 exporting "furs and slaves". I don't think it is true. So I dropped the book until somebody convinces me I am wrong.

No, about W Europe sending slaves to unspecified locations. (btw, slaves were sold from what is today's Ukraine/S Russia to Byzantium. And so was fur.)

Yeah, I've never heard of Western Europe exporting slaves. A big mistake.

Nice! If I could read this article (it is beyond the paywall) I might continue with the reading of Hoffman's book.
