God I hate the Macro vs Micro split. Robinson Crusoe is the economy "as a whole"! Real split is between Monetary & non-Monetary economics.

I'm more persuaded by Hume's state of nature. Man is naturally social/co-operative. Society is impossible under Hobbesian state of nature

Prefer Hume to Hobbes myself (though both good). But neither was talking history. Both were explaining why society exists and has existed.

Indeed but the Hobbes' model leads him to the State-as-referee model which is simply ahistorical. The state has been primary, all shall bend
