This book is really informative and gives much greater insights about the existing inequality and poverty in the world (just as promised) by taking us through the history of each culture and society. I love the fact that I actually gained sound knowledge (even though preliminary) about how economy works and what factors influence it. Beautifully written as it is, it could have been summed up within 12 chapters. Last three chapters were just a bit of a drag, it became repetitive in those final chapters. It took me more time to get through the last few chapters, even though the writers wanted to set it as an example of what they taught throughout the rest of the book, I would still think it could have been shortened to one chapter or so. Overall, really informative book. I learned a good amount about the geography as well (I searched most places mentioned in the book), now I know which country resides where. Was a good experience to go through history, they have written that really beautifully!
