It charts how our ancestors transitioned from egalitarian hunter-gatherer groups to complex, hierarchical societies, and uncovers the manipulation of social logic that underpinned this transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring archaeological and anthropological evidence from around the globe, the authors illustrate how certain societal structures and justifications for inequality arose repeatedly in different cultures. From prestige-based societies to hereditary elites, kingdoms and empires, the book reveals how debts, genealogies, and sacred lore were used to create and maintain disparities in power. By understanding these historical patterns, the authors suggest ways in which inequality can be challenged and reversed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, minor dust jacket wear)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780674064690","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46184619081878,"sku":"h4_WS5UBIKKNU8T","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/7415.jpg?v=1768605645","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/the-creation-of-inequality-by-kent-flannery-joyce-marcus","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
