To grow up in the 1950s was to enter a world of polarized national alliances, nuclear threat, and destabilized social hierarchies. To be a privileged white girl in conservative, segregated Virginia was to be expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities of race and the constraints of gender. For young Drew Gilpin Faust, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial privilege proved intolerable and galvanizing. Urged to become “well adjusted" and to fill the role of a poised young lady that her upbringing imposed, she found resistance was the necessary price of survival.

Thoughtful, informative and challenging. I have a much better understanding of the era I grew up on with the author. More than anything it reminds me of the accountability I have for what I see, hear and experience-- and that what I do about it can make a difference.

The world’s leading economist of inequality presents a short but sweeping and surprisingly optimistic history of human progress toward equality despite crises, disasters, and backsliding, a perfect introduction to the ideas developed in his monumental earlier books.

There is a line on the map: to one side Wales, small, rugged and stubborn; the other England, crucible of the most expansionist culture the world has ever seen. It is a line that has been dug, debated, defined and defended for twenty centuries.

Revisado: 09-02-21
Thanks to the author for writing this. Our knowledge is ever evolving and this fills in some important gaps. For me it helps confirm some things I already believed. While this may not be the most profound finding for me, I do find it a fascinating question my mind has raised: How is it possible that so many people are satisfied with the current Eucharist when it is physiologically a placebo? That makes little sense to me.
