During the past two and a half centuries, social systems based upon the hierarchical organization of transactions among a relatively few metropolitan centers sprinkled throughout a predominantly rural population have given way to urbanization. Since the early nineteenth century, systems with 40, 60, or 80 percent of their populations residing in cities have proliferated. The singularity of this growth and redistribution of human numbers since the 1700s reflects a massive and sustained growth in the production and adaptation of inanimate energy and the productivity of economic resources. Cities and Markets deals with historical aspects of this modern industrial-urban experience. In this collection, interdisciplinary experts from a variety of fields examine the industrial-urbanization process of the last two and a half centuries from several points of view, highlighting the uniqueness of the period and the process.

Cities and markets
I only read a few chapters of this book. What I read was interesting but I didn't think I could ever complete reading this book. I was interested in this subject matter but apparently only on the surface.
This book is about cities of the world. How they were formed, why, and how they declined.
I discovered that the first world city was Catal Huyuk which was founded some 9000 years ago in what is now southern Turkey.
I found the life of the Sumerians fascinating. They lived 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Archeologists have discovered writings on tablets about Sumerian life. Their lives were similar to ours except for the technology. There was one tablet from a father to son about how disappointed he was for his son to be loitering in the streets. They also found a math word problem that was worked in the schools. They knew of Pythagorean equation before Pythagorus was even born.
It took me a couple years to read the 4 chapters and I barely touched the meat of this book so I knew I would never finish it.
