Feedback 		Spiral development Upward spiral from primitive society to capitalism

The book's method centers on a theory of spiral development. It finds patterns in societies' historical development and follows the trend in these patterns to identify the society after capitalism. These patterns are found using the theory of spiral development, which shows how societies develop in an upward spiral thru a series of stages. The previous stages have been Primitive, Slavery and Land-duty.

  • Primitive society ran from about 100,000 BC to 3,500 BC
  • Slavery dominated from about 3,500 BC to 400
  • Land-duty was the main type of society from about 400 to 1600
  • Capitalist societies first emerged in the 1600s

    Primitive society was classless. Class societies emerged with Slavery to drive productivity improvements.

    Human societies' spiral development pattern is very similar to the spiral pattern that species' life cycles follow. This book's method is an extension of the philosophy of history Historical Materialism to include the spiral development model.
