Neolithic humans made constructions that took a staggering amount of manpower over a very prolonged time. The story of how such things come to be is complex and has many variations over place and time. There's no "first management theorists" just humans and human society learning and evolving as it has since before we were even human. I find the concept of this article not just pointless but somewhat obnoxious in projecting a conceptual parallel between roman aristocratic slave holders and modern employment relations. Both have their pathologies but we shouldn't blend them into one category imo.
