«Le capital au XXIe siècle» is the economic essay by Thomas Piketty, published by Editions du Seuil in paperback (970 pages, in French).
Study of the distribution of wealth over three centuries and in more than twenty countries. Piketty argues that if the return on capital exceeds economic growth, inequality worsens and threatens meritocracy; knowledge acts as an equalising force and public policies can counteract that dynamic.
Originally published in 2013, it is part of the «Les Livres du nouveau monde» collection and received the Financial Times Business Book of the Year award in 2014.
Recommended for readers interested in economics, social inequality and public policy, as well as the debate on the future of capitalism.
Thomas Piketty is a French economist who is a professor of economics at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, associate chair at the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and Centennial Professor of Economics in the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics (LSE).
