The Origins of Human Inequality: the Road to Slavery, Monarchy, and Empire
by (u. S.) Kent Flannery Joyce Marcus
About This Novel
"Inequality is a dynamic phenomenon in the historical development of human society" - All of us evolved from egalitarian hunters or gatherers, yet why are almost all of us under the control of those who are wealthy? The two authors continue Jacques Rousseau's discussion of inequality in human society, and explore the evolution of social logic in communities in different eras and regions against the grand historical background of human origins, race diffusion, community aggregation, the emergence of nations, and before modern industrialization. This book systematically constructs the inherent laws of the "idea world" in the development of human society from primitive populations to slavery, monarchy, and even empires, and clarifies the essence of various inequalities in human society.
