Discover how economic forces shape the past and our future. This book argues that history is driven by how people get their livelihood, not by great men or divine plans. It explains why the study of production and social organization can reveal the real engines behind long-term change.
The pages contrast two ways of looking at history: the old, crowded with myths and rulers, and a new approach that centers human needs, tools, and cooperation. You’ll see how changes in work, technology, and shared knowledge push societies forward, and how collective action can alter the course of history. The author also traces how shifts in production impact power, culture, and everyday life, offering a clear framework for understanding social progress.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of human society from its earliest stages through the Industrial Revolution, with a particular focus on the evolving relationship between economic systems and social organization. Drawing on the work of anthropologist Lewis Morgan, the author argues that the evolution of the family - from the matriarchal clan to the patriarchal household - is closely linked to the development of private property and the rise of class divisions. The author places particular emphasis on the role of women in these changes, highlighting their decline in status as the private ownership of land and other resources became increasingly entrenched. The book concludes by examining the impact of the Industrial Revolution, which further transformed economic and social relations and set the stage for the development of modern capitalism.
