An interesting followup read would be Graeber/Wengrow's recent work of anthro/archaeological research, Dawn of Everything, which expands on newly-understood historical possibilities for large-scale, post-discovery of agriculture human societies and trade. Our current systems are not as inevitable as people pump them up to be
Also Graeber's Debt which goes deeper into the economy aspects of history, including a lot on social credit based economies.
(Gregory's classic Gifts and Commodities is high on my reading list too, but I haven't gotten around to it yet so I can't say anything specific about it.)
I'll bump Debt up on my queue. Haven't been able to stop thinking about Dawn of Everything since tearing through it, it turns so much about our perspective on how the world operates on its head. And by looking at our demonstrated past, not speculation on unknown futures.
