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.

Exporting slaves? Is he talking about Balkans sending slaves to Turkey?

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