Reviews
" The Great Leveler should set off loud alarm bells.... The range of evidence is breathtaking." --Timur Kuran, Foreign Affairs, "Mr Scheidel's evidence is so persuasive that readers will find themselves cheering on the Black Death as a boost to median wages." --Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, "This shows how inequality has increased across all of human society under every form of political organisation since the Stone Age- except in the wake of mass mobilised warfare or natural catastrophes. Sobering." ---Henry Dimbleby, The Week, One of the Wall Street Journal's What Business Leaders Read in 2017, Chosen by Mohamed A. El-Erian, "A readable and quirky history of economic inequality from the great apes to the modern day.... It is well worth the read. It is, in a word, gripping." --Victoria Bateman, Times Higher Education, "Walter Scheidel's The Great Leveler is a smartly argued book.... For anybody who has ever debated issues related to inequality and their broader meaning, this book provides more than just a powerful thought experiment." --Andrew Ross Sorkin, New York Times, Walter Scheidel, Winner of the Spengler Prize, The Oswald Spengler Society for the Study of Humanity and World History
