| Editorial Review | In a work that is aligned with but antecedent to his grand synthesis, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, French economist Piketty examines the structural causes of inequality… A discussion worth having and a book worth reading. (Kirkus Reviews 2015-06-01) Piketty’s The Economics of Inequality is an excellent book and a great companion to Capital. This book is a remarkable mix of extensive data, attention to theory, and concern for policy. (Axel Gosseries, Fund for Scientific Research (FRS-FNRS) and University of Louvain (UCL)) If Piketty is right, inequality is increasing and cannot be cured by the free market; we must understand the problem to understand how to address it. This should be required reading for every concerned citizen. (Publishers Weekly 2015-06-29) Even a brief guide to basic concepts in Piketty’s field of study can remind you, at every turn, that something profound is going on within the global economic system. The data, especially the data from recent decades, does not conceal the tale…Avarice and plunder play no part in the language of economics, but they too are causes and consequences of the phenomena Piketty describes. In some respects, his work is an assault on the kind of cult thinking that these days passes for economic and political analysis. (Ian Bell Glasgow Herald 2015-07-25) Piketty’s The Economics of Inequality, which acts as a primer, provides a useful starting point for a wide audience. (Tom Healy Irish Times 2015-09-05) Translated into English for the first time, it offers an exceptionally clear, cogent, and coherent discussion of economic inequality. (Richard N. Cooper Foreign Affairs 2015-11-01) |
| About the Author | Thomas Piketty (French: [tɔˈma pikɛˈti]; born on 7 May 1971) is a French economist who works on wealth and income inequality. He is a professor (directeur d'études) at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), professor at the Paris School of Economics and Centennial professor at the London School of Economics new International Inequalities Institute. He is the author of the best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2013), which emphasises the themes of his work on wealth concentrations and distribution over the past 250 years. The book argues that the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future. He considers that to be a problem, and to address it, he proposes redistribution through a progressive global tax on wealth. Bio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
