Wandel ist in der modernen Gesellschaft allgegenwärtig - und fast scheint es, als sei die einzige noch auszumachende Konstante der Wandel selbst. Kann man diesen sozialen Wandel mit Darwin erklären? Theorien sozialer Evolution versuchen genau dies, indem sie den Darwinismus auf das Soziale anwenden. Stephan S. W. Müller befragt wichtige Theorien und Ansätze: Gelingt es ihnen, einen Wandlungsprozess im Sozialen plausibel zu verorten, dessen Grundprinzipien denen der natürlichen Evolution gleichen, oder müssen sie an der Andersartigkeit des Sozialen gegenüber dem Biologischen scheitern? »Die Stärke des Buches [...] besteht in der sachkundigen, gedankenreichen und logisch konsistenten Analyse und Kritik der von Müller untersuchten Konzeptionen sozialer Evolution.« Rolf Löther, Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft (ZfG), 10 (2010) »Zurzeit ist keine überzeugende Theorie sozialer Evolution auf dem Markt [...]. Nach Stephan Müller wird das auch so bleiben.« Manuela Lenzen, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 17.02.2011 Besprochen in: www.socialnet.de, 09.09.2010, Andreas G. Franke Anthropos, 107 (2012), Christoph Antweiler

Although converging somewhat, men are still economically more successful than women. These stark economic differences prevail in the United States and in virtually all countries throughout the world. This volume contains a number of important new articles analyzing reasons for continuing gender discrepancies in wellbeing. To get at these incongruities, the volume analyzes a number of key questions including: Do men seek greater financial risk than women? Do men really bargain better, and under what circumstances? Why are women rapidly closing the college enrollment gap, but not the wage gap? How do educational choices affect men's and women's starting salaries? What are the chances of women attaining the same occupational status as men? And, how does intergenerational socioeconomic mobility differ between sons and daughters? The answers will not only further our understanding of resource distribution, but will also inform the policy debate on where within society one finds discriminatory practices and where one does not.
