反穀物の人類史――国家誕生のディープヒストリー

Scott's analysis challenges traditional narratives; I wonder what motivated him to highlight this aspect of history and how it shapes our understanding of civilization.

The book made me rethink the supposed progress of civilization, but I wonder if others felt uneasy about the implications for modern governance.

The idea that progress often involves resisting or breaking away from established structures seems very relevant today. What parallels do others see?
