Wealth, Power, and Inequality in World History Vol. 1 features a
unique global focus on political and economic affairs,
demonstrating the close interaction between these two subjects
throughout the course of world history. The text explores the
ever-changing allocation of wealth and power both within individual
societies and among different political entities, such as
city-states, nations, and empires. Over the course of 17 chapters,
this volume discusses the ways in which ruling elites have wielded
wealth and power to increase their own privileges, suppress
frequent internal revolts, and wage war against foreign entities.
Opening chapters cover the beginnings of social inequality at the
dawn of humankind, the Agricultural Revolution, the formation of
city-states and empires in Mesopotamia, and early empires in Asia,
Africa, and Mesoamerica. Students read about the Roman world, the
unification of China through the Qin and Han dynasties, the
fragmentation of Europe, trade and states in sub-Saharan Africa,
the early Americas, and more. Images, maps, and discussion
questions throughout inspire student engagement and support the
overall learning experience. Wealth, Power, and Inequality in World
History Vol. 1 is the first installment in a two-book series. The
books are well suited for introductory courses in world history.
