[Updated critique, Part II: ] Read the book, The Creation of Inequality by Flannery and Marcus, the voluminous data presented blows away Ferguson's opinion.] [First review] I appreciate Spacegopher's comments below and agree with them - - Ferguson is an idiot! His other book should be titled: "The Harvard Theory of Money," and so on. His two-volume work on the Rothschild family was puff piece and certainly not informative! Joseph Tainter's work is much, much superior. Subtract all the predatory capitalism with its resultant mass murder, and Ferguson's premises and thesis falls apart!
