Had he ... (Declarative Sentence)
Likes breed likes, as Karl Marx would have said, had he written his Capital under the influence of the attention economy.
Hello friends,
In the above sentence, considering there are no conditionals here, why do we have "had" at the beginning of the sentence?
Thank you.
