4. Kerbo, H.R. (2012) <i>Social stratification and inequality: class conflict in historical, comparative, and global perspective</i>. 8th ed. New York, NY, McGraw-Hill. Although this book does not look at deep history in any detail, the book does provide a useful global perspective and historical assessment of more recent periods to demonstrate how social stratification is developed and justified in different societies. Social stratification is often reinforced by religious or deep historical reasons in many parts of the world, but in the United States this is different, but inequality is pronounced based on racial and social access and opportunities for wealth.
5.Milanović, B. (2012) <i>The haves and the have-nots: a brief and idiosyncratic history of global inequality. </i> New York, Basic Books, a member of the Perseus Books Group. This is a book by a economist who looks at how social inequality has changed. While social class often has defined inequality, more recently those who are born in the right countries (e.g., such as Western states) have a far higher likely potential for greater wealth. Inequality has, for the past thirty years, been increasing between countries.
