The Asiatic Mode of Production is one of the more problematic components of the Marxist Theory on modes of production, because it includes the idea of a single abstract concept which could apprehend the multiple, in time and in space, social realities of the enormous region called Asia, and also because of the judgment it allows to be made in respect of these societies. And so, analyzing the concept of Asiatic Mode of Production is a manner of dealing with Eurocentrism, Orientalism and of understanding their relationships with the Historical Materialism.
