Economic history has less incentive to lie and it's hard to retroactively change 100 years of accounting/trade history to maintain a fake national narrative.

Remember in international trade, atleast 3 seperate entities end up with copies of every transaction (buyer/seller/shipper).

It's why I consider it more trustworthy...
