In his book “The Collapse of Antiquity”, Michael Hudson proves himself not just as a great international political economist, but also as an economic anthropologist and economic archeologist.

As it turns out, it was the Mesopotamians of the Bronze Age who were ahead of their time and the West that was backward.
