Michael Hudson Asks Naked Capitalism's readers...

 

 Michael Hudson's article "If Democracy Winds Up Creating Financial Dominance, What Do We Call China?" attracted a flood of comments, on the blog "Naked Capitalism", to which I added my two cents.

Here follows an edited version of my comments.

The period between 8,000 and 5,000 years ago was generally characterized by trial and errors to stabilize and reproduce the institutions of power which was accompanied by the parallel trials at sharing the narrative of new worldviews.

"The continuity of the cultural field" (6). The axioms of civilizations

3.1.1. agriculture had been experimented long before answering a vital societal need

The reason agriculture finally got practiced some 10,000 years ago in the Tri-Continental-Area was not at all because tribal populations had suddenly discovered the marvels of seeding and harvesting.
