Evidence Quote
“Ever since 7,000 years ago is where you get the beginning of the third revolution in the history of work- and that is the creation of cities... So even the most sophisticated agricultural civilizations, still, 80% of people were actually in the countryside, focused all their labor energy on basically producing the energy they needed to survive and live.”
