Good books on pre-capitalist history with proper class analysis? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm really getting tired of vapid historical analysis which completely sidelines any notions of class, or literally anything other than the mainstream misconstruing of history though great man theory

Are you me? Same... I really need to get to reading my books honestly, I have a ton but never get to them.

I wind up reading fanfics, listening to talks/analysts, or reading articles and excerpts once in a while on my phone/PC instead.

Lol I figure if I have them nearby I'm more likely to read them eventually. Which is true, but "eventually" is doing a lot of work.

I've started most of them fwiw, but only finished like 20%.

Nice to have on-hand to reference tho, especially as search engines continue to decline.

True, my logic is much the same as well. Though you're clearly starting and reading more of them than me (it tends to be nil).
