Detailed information

Wealth, Power, and Inequality in World History Vol. 2 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 to the present day.

This volume picks up where Vol. 1 left off, discussing 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. This volume begins with chapters that examine the empires of East and Central Asia from 645-1795, Muslim empires of Asia from 1300 to the 1760s, and political upheaval in the Atlantic world. Additional chapters address the early Industrial Revolution in England, industry and inequality, the rising American empire, the causes of World War II, the emergence of the Cold War, globalization and its discontents from 2000-2020, 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. 2 is the second installment in a two-book series. The books are well suited for introductory courses in world history.
