The book discusses various fields of what is known as “Critical Theories,” “Social Justice Scholarship,” or simply “Theory). Including Fat Studies, Feminism, and, of course, Critical Race Theory among others.

Slavery and economics:  Mark Thornton has many good, peer reviewed, articles on the topic of slavery and economics that can be easily found with a quick google search in lieu of that here is a good talk he delivered on the subject: https://mises.org/power-market/mark-thornton-economics-slavery

Lost knowledge:  I couldn’t find any sources on the lost knowledge in the field of optometry. I know it’s mentioned in “An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought” but it’s a dense book and I can’t find it. Until I can find a source we can say statements about this are up in the air on whether they are factual.
