Description

We all know about the book: it has been hailed as one of the most important documents on how the world economy works, or doesn’t work, and it has been a colossal bestseller since it first appeared in 2014, with more than 1.5 million copies sold. Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century makes a powerful case that wealth, and accumulated wealth, tends to stay where it lands: and with the passage of time just gets bigger…and bigger.

In this handy slim volume, in clear and accessible prose, experienced economist and teacher Jesper Roine explains all things Piketty.
