This classic work of social theory explores the historical development of social hierarchy and inequality. Millar argues that the concept of rank and social hierarchy is rooted in differences of wealth and power, and examines the ways in which these differences have been manifested throughout history. Drawing on a wide range of historical and literary sources, Millar provides a compelling analysis of the origins and mechanisms of social inequality.
