Here is the 3rd Edition of my English translation of Antoine Montchrétien's "Treatise on Political Economy" (1615). This book is known for inventing the neologism "Political Economy", which in its context, refers to the principles of oikonomia (οἰκονομία) applied to the state (πόλις), and so displaying continuity between the economic and political. This sense of primacy enters the third estate into consideration, which as Montchrétien has it, elevates the Mechanical Arts to the importance of the Liberal Arts. We see a difference of this view from the ancients, who from Aristotle to Cicero, saw the Mechanical Arts as "unnatural" and only fit for lower orders. This book is then reflective of capitalist modernity - and is the birth of Political Economy.

What's a good book that analyzes all history through historical materialism?

>>26282
Paul Cockshott's How the World Works, I guess?.

I would second the other anon's answer but add in Perry Anderson's classic "Passages From Antiquity to Feudalism" (which can be found on this page), which deals with the transition from slave to agrarian/feudal modes of production in Europe. Not just because I think Anderson is a much better prose writer than Cockshott, but he delves into the historical progression of the same modes of production Cockshott covers in breadth and detail.

Should be noted that this is an introduction/prologue/companion/whatever to Lineages Of The Absolutist State. These two volumes together cover the development of the modes of production in Europe from antiquity to early modernity. The second part also has two notes at the end about Japanese feudalism and the Asiatic mode of production, which I thought were very interesting despite the latter note's open-endedness.

I can imagine there's probably been a lot of progress on the subject of modes of production since these books were written in the 70's though, so I don't know how well they hold up. Someone in the reading thread on the main board posted a book that I saw engages with Anderson critically, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet.

The post I mentioned didn't have the pdf attached, so here it is.

>99% of books are in PDF format and not EPUB
