Description: "Examining the archaeological material of the modern period, over a period of the last 500 years, this open access book presents a series of case studies that challenges the fallacy of Nordic egalitarianism. The result is an original study of a wealth of material culture that tells us how extensive this inequality actually was and the different ways it appeared in various societies.
