Can anyone recommend a book on prehistoric economics from the Austrian perspective?
I'm really interested in the timeline of man moving out of africa, settling the Nile and the fertile crescent... Hunting/fishing/gathering for subsistence, followed by cattle breeding, followed by agriculture... Which leads to specialized agriculture (using tools to increase productivity, etc.) Increased productivity leading to surplus, which allows civilizations to grow, etc. I felt like an interest in this subject could be exactly what I need to start learning about Austrian economics. Does this fall under the phylum of anthropology?
