The Creation of Inequality pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Our early ancestors lived in small groups and worked actively to preserve social equality. As they created larger societies, however, inequality rose, and by 2500 BCE truly egalitarian societies were on the wane. In The Creation of Inequality, Kent Flannery and Joyce Marcus demonstrate that this development was not simply the result of population increase, food surplus, or the accumulation of valuables. Instead, inequality resulted from conscious manipulation of the unique social logic that lies at the core of every human group.
A few societies allowed talented and ambitious individuals to rise in prestige while still preventing them from becoming a hereditary elite. But many others made high rank hereditary, by manipulating debts, genealogies, and sacred lore. At certain moments in history, intense competition among leaders of high rank gave rise to despotic kingdoms and empires in the Near East, Egypt, Africa, Mexico, Peru, and the Pacific.
Drawing on their vast knowledge of both living and prehistoric social groups, Flannery and Marcus describe the changes in logic that create larger and more hierarchical societies, and they argue persuasively that many kinds of inequality can be overcome by reversing these changes, rather than by violence.

评分从作者的意图来讲,这几乎是一本失败的书。论证部分自相矛盾,好几个大坑没有填上:inequality是好的吗?到底要怎么看待human agency和biological determinism之间的关系?关于原始社会的考古学/人类学研究对今天到底有何启发?但另一方面,两位作者的确是非常优秀的考古学家。这本书最大的亮点恰恰在于这些难以充分归类的原始社会发展案例。理论、案例之间的矛盾之处为读者打开了很大的思考(脑洞)空间。
