"Professor Wittfogel believes that the peculiar forms of Oriental despotism -- not limited to the Orient -- had their origin in societies where irrigation was a matter of life and death to the people and their crops, and control of the watercourses was in the hands of the ruler and his bureaucracy. He has investigated an enormous quantity of first-hand material to explain the character of these societies, and his book, half a lifetime in preparation, has been greeted by competent scholars as a work of first importance.".
