Read by Joel Richards.
Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. This is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world.
