Inca Empire: Pure Beta
The mighty empire of the Incas stretched from the Andes to the Pacific coast, occupying the territories of modern Peru, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Argentina. It was inhabited by many dozens of peoples with a total of up to 10 million people. Communication between the settlements was carried out through well-constructed roads. From the capital of the empire Cusco went four roads, each of which led into one of the four parts of the empire.
Many aspects of the life of the Incas and now remain a mystery. All information about them comes from the Spanish conquerors - the conquistadors. The leader of the conquistadors, Francisco Piscaro, defeated the Inca army in 1532 with the help of only a few hundred people. He just finished it off, because the decisive blow was struck ten years before him, when the Spaniards brought smallpox to this region, from an epidemic that killed up to 90% of the entire population.
The Incas were excellent specialists in construction, metallurgy, mining agriculture. They made terraces and grew potatoes, tomatoes, corn, peanuts, sunflowers, pineapples, avocados, guavas, Peruvian peppers, yucca and other plants on the slopes of the mountains. And all the plants were selected for each particular height. In Cusco and other cities, water supply was built, like the Roman, but made without the use of poisonous lead.
Interestingly, the Inca trade was not. Gordon Francis Evans in his book "The Incas" reports that in such a developed country there was no class of merchants, because there was no commerce as a systematic activity. As a socionic, I remind you that there are no socials in the quadra beta, which are actually oriented to this type of activity. Production, distribution and use of resources was controlled by the state. Every resident of the empire could get everything necessary for life from the warehouse: food, tools, raw materials and clothing. You did not have to pay for this. Without markets and shops there was no need for money.
But the Incas existed labor service: instead of paying taxes in money, every citizen had to work in favor of the state, and in exchange for work they received everything necessary for life. With the help of the knotted letter “kipu,” a careful record was kept of the fulfillment of obligations by each worker. In addition, each peasant entered the self-defense units and at any time could be called up for war. If he went to war, the community members cultivated his plot of land.
Western scholars cannot find a convincing explanation for how the Inca society could develop and achieve success in science, art, construction, and metallurgy without an integral part of the modern market economy. And, nevertheless, the Incan Empire existed for many centuries and collapsed only as a result of its weakening due to the civil war and the Spaniards who came at that very time.
Some researchers argue that the Inca Empire was a socialist state, while others call it simply an authoritarian monarchy. Unfortunately, the delta device is often confused with the beta, because it does not take into account such a quadral sign as centrality. At the delta there is no rigid centralization. And the Incas created the usual centralized beta empire: the elite was engaged in war and religion, and the workers - in construction and agriculture. But thanks to LS-support, everyone was fed, clothed and provided with housing. So it should historically look like a mature beta square.
When we say “pure beta”, what period of development of this ecosystem do we mean? - Just the third, that is, the period of maturity and stability, during which all its accumulated potential is revealed. That is why it is possible to confuse the “beta” with the “delta” orthogonal to it - due to conservatism and normalization. But there is a difference, of course: in the mature "beta" there is no what is now called tolerance, and beta-type empires arise as a result of power conquest, and not cultural integration.
