I'm really getting tired of vapid historical analysis which completely sidelines any notions of class, or literally anything other than the mainstream misconstruing of history though great man theory

On my phone so I won't search the specific vids, but I believe Michael Hudson would be a good source for 0-1500 AD (and even back to the days of ancient Sumeria).
Here's a link to an article of his on the subject, anyways. https://michael-hudson.com/2018/04/palatial-credit-origins-of-money-and-interest/
I've watched a few of his talks on the history of economics, and in particular on the history of debt (and the jubilee/debt forgiveness systems which had been found across the world, to which the Romans, Greeks, and then the inherited systems of debt in Europe were a notable exception).
From his website alone, it seems like he has many books on the subject (as well as more contemporary ones). I've not read them but imagine they cover topics he's spoken of in his many interviews I've watched:

Are you me? Same... I really need to get to reading my books honestly, I have a ton but never get to them.
I wind up reading fanfics, listening to talks/analysts, or reading articles and excerpts once in a while on my phone/PC instead.

True, my logic is much the same as well. Though you're clearly starting and reading more of them than me (it tends to be nil).
Soviet school textbook on the ancient world. It pretty much covers everything, and it's packed with information and short analysis, but doesn't go into too much detail or into specific events.
