图书描述

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains, and governed by precursors of today’s states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative. The first agrarian states, says James C. Scott, were born of accumulations of domestications: first fire, then plants, livestock, subjects of the state, captives, and finally women in the patriarchal family—all of which can be viewed as a way of gaining control over reproduction.

Scott explores why we avoided sedentism and plow agriculture, the advantages of mobile subsistence, the unforeseeable disease epidemics arising from crowding plants, animals, and grain, and why all early states are based on millets and cereal grains and unfree labor. He also discusses the “barbarians” who long evaded state control, as a way of understanding continuing tension between states and nonsubject peoples.

进入农业社会并不是人类线性上升阶梯上至关重要的一环，而是各种偶然和必然因素作用下人类社会变迁中漫长的一个过程。这个观点不算新鲜，但这本书特别强调农业社会和非农业的“蛮夷”社会之间不但在很长时间里都没有高下之分，而且互相转换，保持错综复杂的关系，只不过因为写历史的往往是农业社会的统治者，所以千百年来对“文明”和“野蛮”之分带上了偏见。实际上"蛮夷"的生活往往更健康、自由、多产、丰富，而农业社会除了少数上层既得利益者，大多数人辛苦劳作，饮食单一，瘟疫频发。但是，农业社会最后终于赢在人口优势上——虽然平均寿命低，婴儿死亡率惊人，但是生育率高，最终造成人口大规模增长，占领全球。但书只讲早期历史，而我在想，农业社会是不是进入工业和现代社会的唯一途径？人类漫长的非农业历史如果不被打破，会如何？

#这个问题还蛮有意思的: 耕作比狩猎/采集水果辛苦得多, 而且人们大量聚集在一起的时候就有疾病问题, 为什么人们还是从狩猎采集转向了农业? 而且把谷物(而不是块根或者豆类)和税收联系在一起看问题也蛮有意思. 不过最后作者的无政府主义立场基本一览无遗了...

农业革命是最大的骗局，始作俑者是谷物、国家、群居、瘟疫
