Capital in the twenty-first century

by Thomas Piketty, Arthur Goldhammer

This study analyses economic data from twenty countries since the eighteenth century to examine the long-term evolution of wealth and inequality. It identifies how returns on capital exceeding economic growth drive disparity and considers the role of political intervention.

brief_description
The main driver of inequality (returns on capital that exceed the rate of economic growth) is again threatening to generate extreme discontent and undermine democratic values. Thomas Piketty's findings in this ambitious, original, rigorous work will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. (from front dj)
