>>26302Should 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.
