mode of production made possible specialization of productive activity and the establishment
of a non-producing class devoted to the creation and codification of knowledge. What we
think of as “civilization” slowly emerged: For example, the invention of writing, science,
engineering, formal law, mechanisms of large-scale social organization and control,
technology-based military prowess and the appearance of the first states. Communities now
