ISBN: 9780979987717.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory opens itself to you in this book. By following the central conflict of human history (production versus plunder), the rise and fall of human civilizations become understandable. The truth is that the battles and names that most of us learn in school are never connected to their most basic causes, and therefore never really fit together into an understandable whole. In this book, however, they do.\n\nWhen history comes together into a coherent story, quite a few surprises can be seen, such as the fact that the Sumerians did not create the first culture: They destroyed it. Or, that Athens did not create the Golden Age of the Greeks: They ended it.\n\nAs you proceed through this engrossing narrative, youll find some troubling facts about the modern world as well; such as the fact that the workers of the world have indeed been robbed, but not by capitalists, and that the Rule of Law actually ended two centuries ago. And then, the conclusion that Western Civilization is nearly doomed.\n\nIt was never too hard to understand; they just told you the wrong story.\n(270 Pages)\n\nPreface\n1 What Is Man?\n2 Civilization Is Created and Overrun\n3 Classical Civilization\n4 Platos Empire\n5 The Turning Point\n6 Western Civilization Forms\n7 The Quickening Of The 17th Century\n8 The American Revolution\n9 The Industrial Surprise\n10 The Decline Of Western Civilization\n11 A Chance For Renewal\n12 The Two Futures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"sovvilu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44990196777013,"sku":"ByrdShop_0979987717","price":90.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780979987717_2cdb014f-9609-4fb8-831c-2165309a45f9.jpg?v=1781376078","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/production-versus-plunder-9780979987717","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
