1. Capital & Ideology
A sweeping, data-driven account of how societies construct and defend systems of inequality, arguing that patterns of wealth and income concentration are products of political choices and legitimizing ideologies rather than inevitable market forces; it traces historical regimes from colonial and slave-owning systems to modern capitalism, analyzes how laws, institutions, and narratives have justified exclusion, and proposes policy and institutional reforms—progressive wealth taxation, redistribution, expanded education and social rights, and more democratic ownership—to redesign the social contract and reduce entrenched inequality.
