Hay que observar un punto importante acerca de los habitantes de estas aldeas: mientras que vivían a un nivel de subsistencia, uno de los efectos del desarrollo de la riqueza a muy largo plazo, era que a medida que producían más riquezas y las élites lograban apropiarse más de esas riquezas para su consumo de lujo, este proceso permitía que crecieran las poblaciones no agrarias, y que se fueran agrupando cada vez más en lugares que ahora llamaríamos zonas urbanas.
But there's an important point to observe about village people and that is that while they lived at a subsistence level, one of the effects of developing wealth over the very long run, was that as they were able to produce more wealth and as their leads were able to appropriate more and more of that for their luxury consumption, this allowed non- agrarian populations to grow aggregating themselves increasingly into settlements that we would now call urban settlements.QED QED
