Professor Scheidel does not offer a grand unified theory of inequality. But scouring through the historical record, he detects a pattern: From the Stone Age to the present, ever since humankind produced a surplus to hoard, economic development has almost always led to greater inequality. There is one big thing with the power to stop this dynamic, but it’s not pretty: violence.

The big equalizing moments in history may not have always have the same cause, he writes, “but they shared one common root: massive and violent disruptions of the established order.”

well yeah - the biggest economic disruption/redistribution in the past thousand years of western history was the black death. the rwandan "genocide" was, to some large extent, people murdering their landlords, creditors, economic superiors, etc. but it didn't work out for the hutu, because they lacked the capacity to hold on to what they had briefly gained.

This time, however, the rich will have heavily-armed private security and killer robots.
