and steady source of food.
Effects
-gathering to food-producing cultures leads to
establishment of permanent settlements and the first cities
– settlement leads to development of culture
including art, religion, and specialization of labor; irrigation
systems developed as crop production and land use increase
– close proximity of people leads to spread of
disease; villages and cities susceptible to attacks; settlements
could be destroyed by natural disasters
Development of river valley civilizations:
Four early major river valley civilizations developed
Tigris and Euphrates
Nile
Indus
Huang He Rivers
Irrigation leads to development of social classes and organized
religion
Mesopotamia/Fertile Crescent (3500 BC-1600 BC)
– states established around 3000 BC and initially
controlled by temple priests
– Ziggurat (temple) center of each citystate

BC
Indus River Valley Civilizations (2500 BC-1700 BC)
-Daro and Harappa that were
developed on grid systems and had sophisticated plumbing and
sewage systems
ly cities decline around 1750 BC due to a possible
change in course by the Indus River

river valley civilizations (e.g., Sumerian city-states)
Theocracies – rulers were divine leaders who were seen as godkings

Communist Manifesto
Free enterprise system – an economic system in which the
factors of production are privately owned. Competition is
based on free enterprise.
Supply, demand, and prices, not politics, determine the
answers to the economic questions of how, what, and for
whom to produce. Characteristics include: economic
freedom, voluntary exchange, competition, private
property, and the profit motive.
Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, published in
1776 – free market economies are more productive and
beneficial to their societies; preference to local/domestic
industry instead of international trade; self-interest guided
by an “invisible hand” (laissez-faire) to effectively use
resources in a nation’s economy; public welfare is a
byproduct and is ineffectual when promoted by state and
personal efforts, only unbridled market efforts help social
good
socialism. He and Engels wrote Communist Manifesto in
