Description:
"The most important economics book of the year―and maybe of the decade." —Paul Krugman, New York Times, on Capital in the Twenty-First Century
A bestselling economist's history of inequality and guide to a more just, sustainable world, distilled into an engaging and accessible pocket-sized text.
In this unique work, Thomas Piketty presents a synthesis of his historical and comparative research on inequality. He challenges the idea that there could be natural inequalities and shows that the march toward equality has always depended on political and social struggles, addressing diverse topics such as:
education,
inheritance,
the climate crisis,
the taxation of wealth, and
gender disparities.
Adapted from Piketty's 2022 lecture at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, Nature, Culture, and Inequality makes his important argument available to a wider audience for the first time. With a clear, conversational tone, he provides a strong foundation of data and concrete examples of how we can continue to level the playing field.
