Happy to share our book, out earlier this year, which re-engages economics with archaeological data to confront elite determinism and critique the cult of the entrepreneur. You can download the e-book for free!

Archaeology reveals many past societies that appeared to control #inequality much better than we do today.
Interest in these societies is gaining steam. Today my paper on the Indus civilisation's egalitarian cities reached 100 google citations!

It is critical to join up our understanding of income and wealth distributions with our knowledge of social ecology. This initiative looks like it's tackling this problem head-on, though with an emphasis on forecasting the future. I think data from deep in the past has a big role to play here.
What would a just distribution of socio-economic and environmental resources look like at the global level from 2025 to 2100 – both between and within countries?
From now to June 2026, the #GlobalJusticeProject will help provide answers.
