"Ten thousand years of tyranny" is an uncompromising polemic which argues that the world is affluent but was corrupted by the concentration of power in (a few) human hands at the Neolithic, a mere 10,000 years ago. The destruction of the planet has unfolded ever since and can only have one end. That mistake can still be reversed but only by popular action which destroys the myth of economic scarcity and restores affluence and equality.
