| Publisher Description: This book presents a systematic analysis of inequality, its origin, development and potential solutions. For the most part of our existence, we lived in an egalitarian social setting. Demography, cultural evolution and historical events had provoked sociopolitical changes and led to our current way of living. Inequality is examined through the lens of social processes and historical events that occurred in the polities preceding the six primary states and thereafter. The development and expansion of capitalism has accentuated the growth of inequality particularly in our current time. This global analytical approach has revealed the social cost of self-interest when not monitored, Evidence in the natural world suggests that inequality is inevitable but manageable. For the sake of social cohesion, maintaining an optimal rate of inequality is more urgent than ever. |
