    Great video, and as usual, I appreciate the inclusion of source in the description. Some books worth reading on the subject by economist Michael Hudson, who has extensive academic background in economic systems, debt and trade in the ancient world (despite his political biases especially when discussing the modern economic system, as seen in his best work "Killing the host" (2015)): The Collapse of Antiquity: Greece and Rome as Civilization's Oligarchic Turning Point (2023) Temples of Enterprise: Creating Economic Order in the Bronze Age Near East (2024) Urbanization and Land Ownership in the Ancient Near East (1999)
