Available for over a year

The plough was a simple yet transformative technology. It was the plough that kick-started civilisation in the first place - that, ultimately, made our modern economy possible. But the plough did more than create the underpinning of civilisation - with all its benefits and inequities. Different types of plough led to different types of civilisation.
