Homo economicus: A Maale mystery -- Epochal structures I: Reconstructing historical materialism -- Epochal structures II: An anatomy of Maale production -- History at one point in time: "Working together" in Bola, 1975 -- Appendix: Predicting the past from the future.

Is Marxism a reflection of the conceptual system it fights against, rather than a truly comprehensive approach to human history? This work confronts this problem in analyzing a radically different social order: the former Maale kingdom of southern Ethiopia.
