“The word “capitalism” would not be coined for another 3,800 years. Adam Smith was 3,700 years from picking up his pen.” This is pretty bad writing lol. Markets are as old as civil…

Not in this case, the "Indus" weights were notably used in the Dilmun trade even by Sumerian buyers. The Meluhha->Dilmun trade weights were in fact found across Mesopotamia in gene…
