Slide 4: The Agricultural Age - The Foundation of Scarcity

Explanation: This slide establishes the original logic of wealth and power, which was fundamentally rooted in physical scarcity and control. By showing that wealth was tied to a finite resource (land), it highlights how power was concentrated and social mobility was nearly impossible. Mentioning the rigid class system and the origins of slavery is crucial—it underscores that our economic systems have deep historical roots in inequality. This sets a powerful baseline; every era that follows represents a shift away from this model of rigid, land-based control. The limitation of being "capped by seasons" perfectly contrasts with the digital, 24/7 global economy we live in today, making the acceleration we're about to see even more dramatic.
