Over and over again Scheidel shows that in times of "relative" peace, the movement, across epochs, across cultures, is toward increasing inequality. Towards the end of this masterful work, Walter Scheidel writes, "Be careful what you wish for." First, it seems to me that Scheidel's point about "relatively" peaceful times bringing ineluctably with them increases in inequality hides the violence which is used to bring about this inequality.

Joke Matthieu's PhD thesis, titled "Searching for a Democratic Equalizer: How Citizenship Education Moderates Inequalities in Internal Political Efficacy," addresses the enduring challenges of gender and social inequalities in internal political efficacy. The thesis focuses on the role of citizenship education in moderating these inequalities among senior high school students in Flanders. The dissertation challenges conventional theories and offers fresh perspectives on how social status and people's sense of entitlement contribute to disparities in political engagement. It also highlights the importance of embedding citizenship education in a school environment and considering existing norms to ensure its effectiveness. The dissertation adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from political science, sociology, gender studies, and education studies. While the use of correlational data and the focus on Flanders limit generalizability, the researcher suggests future research can address these limitations. Overall, the dissertation provides valuable insights and avenues for future research and policy development in promoting gender and social equality in democratic learning.

The concentration of Black families in inner cities and the flight of White families to the suburbs had important effects not only on the quality of housing in Black neighbourhoods but also on the opportunities their residents faced. Given that banks gave the loans to the safest homebuyers, other institutional lenders emerged: building and loan associations. [Extracted from the article]
