The Lessons of History by Will Durant and Ariel Durant

The Lessons of History by Will Durant and Ariel Durant

The Durants spent four decades writing the eleven volumes of The Story of Civilisation. At the end of it they sat down and wrote this — a hundred pages on what, if anything, all that reading had taught them.

Thirteen short chapters take history against biology, race, character, morals, religion, economics, socialism, government and war. They conclude that inequality returns after every levelling, that freedom and equality pull against each other permanently, and that the only real gain a civilisation passes on is its education.

Short enough for a weekend, and quoted constantly by people who have never read the eleven volumes behind it.
