Soziale Ungleichheit zeigt sich je nach Gesellschaft und Epoche sehr unterschiedlich. Um sie zu verstehen, spielen Geschichte und Kultur eine zentrale Rolle: Ungleichheit ist stark mit verschiedenen sozioökonomischen, politischen, zivilisatorischen und religiösen Entwicklungen verbunden.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy.

His findings will transform debate...
