Bernd Paysan R.I.P Natenom 🕯️@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world The Sumerians didn't believe in free market, their system had a lot of state control and was rather redistributive.
Alexa Devreux-Swift@forthy42@mastodon.net2o.de @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world but the free market did not evolve whole cloth, it can be traced back, and in this case to the root of civilisation and the birth of cities.
And that is Sumeria and Mesopotamia.
