Different stages in different countries

Different Eras

There are four different eras which can be traced in human history:

1. Era of the workers or laborers
   
2. Era of Warriors and kings
3. Era of Priests and thinkers (usually Spiritual Thinkers)
   
4. Era of Merchants or Businessmen

The first era cannot really be called an era because everyone has the same status. Everyone hunted or tilled the land and food was shared by the community. No one really had any power over the others.

The second era was the natural progression from having little or no rule. As a result of advances in agriculture the problem of feeding the general populace had become greatly systematized leading to an increase in life expectancy and fertility driving the growth of population thereby necessitating the institution of rules and Rulers.

The next eras followed in succession.

This is not to say that this model represents a common model in all countries or societies. Different countries have different stages that can be observed. In highly-developed countries like Great Britain we can easily chart the rise of the warriors and the monarchists as well as the rise of the priests in the form of the Authority of the Pope which did not sit well with the kings who challenged the authority of the Pope by separatiing from the Catholic Church and creating its own which is the Anglican Church. That the Anglican Church had to be created proves the ascendancy of Spiritual authority over temporal authority.
