    This is an expository paper on the Bernoulli inequality \((1+ x)^ a\geq 1+ ax\) \((x> -1,\;a>0)\) and its generalizations. Completeness is claimed. \{An intermittent priority discussion seems to confirm L. Fejér's saying ``the history of mathematics serves to prove that nobody has discovered anything: there was always somebody who knew it before'' [see, e.g., the reviewer, Publ. Math. Debrecen 8, 1-24 (1961; Zbl 0098.009)]\}.
