This book by Thomas Piketty analyzes the dynamics of high incomes and inequality in France during the 20th century. Through a rigorous investigation of income tax in France from 1901 to 1998, Piketty examines wage and financial sources to understand the stability of high incomes and their impact on economic inequality. A systematic analysis based on income declarations is presented, demonstrating how the difference between incomes, war, the definition of 'family,' and wage labor contribute to economic inequality at the national level.
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).
