Inequality, Past and Present | A Roundtable Discussion of The Dawn of Everything

With the publication of The Dawn of Everything in 2021, David Graeber and David Wengrow made a bold new contribution to long-standing debates about the origins of inequality. Does inequality in fact have an origin? What happens to our understanding of the long history of humanity if we assume that inequality is a choice rather than an inevitability? A panel of distinguished speakers address these and other questions, with a response by Professor Wengrow, followed by general audience discussion.
