Description: This book presents a general and comparative account of social inequality. It identifies two basic sources of inequality, both of which are inherent in any social system: first, evaluation, since all societies evaluate, and hence place in order, objects, activities and individuals; and second, organisation, since any society is governed by rules whose enforcement inevitably leads to inequalities in the distribution of power.
