The Power of Scale: A Global History Approach

Book Overview

Drawing on history, economics, anthropology and sociology, the author argues that individuals, not social classes, have been the agents of social change. He looks at how increases in scale necessarily lead to an increasingly small elite gaining disproportionate power.
