Question

In the rise of civilisation, leaders of sizeable groups often extract resources from group members for distribution and for the public good. Jared Diamond calls this: a) the biogeographic principle b) the Anna Karenina principle. c) kleptocracy d) the steel principle. e) governance.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": kleptocracy.

Explanation:

American geographer Jared Diamond (born in 1937) stated in his book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" that kleptocracy is the state in which society has less egalitarian benefits and promotes a sense of more equal traits. According to Diamond, this is achieved by redistributing the tribute in popular ways among the population.
