Why are you not sure? It's really VERY GOOD work. Structure and nature of the various aspects of our present world can be better understood only by this type of approach.

Secondly, at the beginning, you have made it clear that the steps which you are going to mention should not be considered to be the only factors in any rigid sense but should be considered to be those major events of the recent history which have shaped our world to this present form. This prudence and careful approach of yours is the clear evidence of a deep thinking soul, which you possess.

Just like our present world economy has been shaped by such events as 'French revolution', 'industrial revolution' etc. so these events themselves were also the products of the previous ancient history of humans.

For example another major event that occurred much before the 'industrial revolution' was the 'agricultural revolution'. And before that 'agricultural revolution', humans had been living on 'hunting'. We cannot call that ancient 'hunting activity’ of humans as their 'economic activity’ in any sense. That ‘hunting activity’ was just a means of sustenance for them. I mean those ancient humans would perform hunting just to meet the immediate food requirements of just the members of the group to which they themselves belonged. They did not perform that ‘hunting’ with the view to sell the gain in any market.

Proper Economic activities initiated after the ‘agricultural revolution’. When first time humans became able to produce some extra food that happened to be more then the immediate requirements of the ancient farmers, that was the time of the origination of most ancient ‘Economic Activities’ of humans. Now those ancient farmers were in need to ‘sell’ their extra product in exchange for their some other need. Extra production of food made it possible that some humans could engage themselves in ‘economic activities’ other than the production of food. So the ancient handicrafts such as pottery, brick making, clothe weaving etc. etc. emerged in this way. So the most basic revolution in the economic life of humans was the ‘agricultural revolution’. It is generally considered that ‘agriculture’ might be the invention of women. When men went to jungles for hunting, the women after them, used to pick useful grains out of surrounding grasses. Some of them might have learned how to sow the seed in order to produce the grains. Therefore it happened to be the way whereby women invented the agriculture.

Secondly women also invented many ancient handicrafts. Cotton spinning i.e. making of yarn on ‘charkha’, then weaving of cloths, basket making, mat (chitai) making etc. all might had been invented by women. So men might have learned the art of making inventions from women.

That ancient handicraft then gradually took the form of factory system that ultimately resulted in the ‘industrial revolution’.

Similarly development of political organizations also has very ancient history. We can discuss about it at any later stage. Because abhi I ko EDS ka ratta lagana hai.

Thanks….. and keep up your good work!
