Description

A sweeping and provocative history of inequality across human civilization, The Great Leveler explores how violence, war, revolution, state collapse, and pandemics have historically reduced economic inequality—often at devastating human cost. Written by Stanford historian Walter Scheidel, this acclaimed work challenges conventional thinking about wealth gaps and social progress, drawing on global history from the Stone Age through the modern era. A finalist for the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year, this book is essential reading for students of economics, history, sociology, and political science. Perfect for scholars, activists, and readers interested in inequality, capitalism, economic justice, and long-term historical trends.

  1. The item arrived as described, or as I thought it would have arrived anyway. I have no doubt that it was immaculate while in the seller's possession. The corners of the book were mildly damaged after shipment. I would recommend that the seller place some kind of corner reinforcements when sending books inside of soft-sided mailers in the future. Especially for what was meant to be a keepsake. (I would have rated it neutral if it weren't for the 7 day waiting time.)

  2. Very nice shirt (love it) in new condition was as described. Great communication with seller who changed the size ordered after I mistakenly ordered the wrong size. Shirt looks great, fits well, was shipped timely and packaged well. Would definitely buy from this super helpful seller again! Much appreciated, thank you!

  3. I’m obsessed with this perfume! This is the third set that I bought on eBay and I just bought a fourth as a gift. I guess so many compliments on this perfume and I absolutely love that it’s travel size with the atomizer. Great seller, packaged nicely and brand new just like described.
