Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States by James C. Scott
4.0
It brought me some interesting perspectives with what is happening in the world today - Covid19.
The book presented in many ways the failures one crop farming and state-led life was not such a great thing for man. Sure we have all these awesome ancient cultures but they came at a heavy life loss especially for the non-1%.
Could there have been another option for man? I dunno. Thats a conversation I would love to have with someone else who has read the book.
I recommend this book definitely for conversation purposes especially the latter half of the book.
