6. Scheidel, W. (2016) <i>The great leveler: violence and the history of inequality from the stone age to the twenty-first century</i>. The princeton economic history of the western world. Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press. A large part of inequality is how violence both shapes it and is a result of it. Violence in the ancient and modern worlds has shaped how societies enabled some groups to be in greater power, while it has also resulted from an over concentration of power in given groups or individuals.
7. McAll, C. (1992) <i>Class, ethnicity, and social inequality</i>. Montreal; London, McGill-Queens University Press. This volume looks at how class, ethnicity and social inequality interplay, historically and in more recent events. Class develops from power concentration, but ethnicity can be a way in which power is reinforced in ruling groups or in class that have greater access to wealth.
