Synopsis "El Gran Nivelador (in Spanish)"

El de la desigualdad es un problema que preocupa hoy en el mundo entero. Pero quienes lo estudian suelen reducirse a considerar los tiempos recientes y olvidan las lecciones a largo plazo de la historia. Este ambicioso e impresionante libro estudia la evolución de la desigualdad desde las sociedades primitivas hasta la actualidad y nos descubre que las fuerzas que la han reducido a lo largo de la historia han sido los «cuatro jinetes» de la violencia: guerra, revolución, colapso de los estados y grandes epidemias. Walter Scheidel nos lleva en estas páginas a una fascinante excursión por la historia de las guerras, de las revoluciones (como la francesa o la rusa de 1917), del colapso de los estados (del Imperio romano o del de los mayas), de las pandemias (como la Peste negra). Entender cómo han actuado estas fuerzas niveladoras puede resultar decisivo para encontrar políticas que nos permitan combatir pacíficamente la desigualdad en el futuro.
