How only violence and catastrophes have consistently reduced inequality throughout world historyAre mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. 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. The Great Leveler 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.Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling?mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse,

_Free_ Protest and the Politics of Space and Place, 1789-1848 Online

Download/Read Protest and the Politics of Space and Place, 1789-1848 Full Pages Free By Katrina Navickas. This book examines the rise of mass movements for democracy and workers' rights in northern England. It surveys movements throughout the whole period from the first working-class radical societies in the 1790s to trade unions and the Chartists in the 1840s. It focuses on protesters' use of space and defence of place. The study is a provocative narrative of the closing down of public space and dispossession from place, including the attempts by national and local governments to clamp down on working-class political action by restricting their meeting sites. The 'Peterloo Massacre' of 1819 is also explored - a turning point in the development of mass protest and its suppression by the government, as radicals, organised labour and, later, Chartists fought back by challenging their exclusion from public spaces, creating their own sites and eventually constructing thei...

From the 1920s to 1952, George and Else Seel lived about sixty kilometres south of Burns Lake near the small farming settlement of Wistaria on the western shore of Ootsa Lake. Like many early twentieth century settlers who migrated to BC s Central Interior, the Seels came in search of opportunity and prosperity, but the harsh environment posed challenges they could not have imagined. The community was remote and the winters were long, but eventually, along with their fellow settlers, they learned how to live and thrive in this new world. They developed a close connection to the land; helped each other in times of need; and established collaborative relationships with the First Nations people who lived around them.The couple and their family lived at Ootsa Lake through the prosperity of the late 1920s; subsisted during the Depression of the ...
