Capital in the Twenty First Century
2017·816 pages·Nonfiction
“Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an intellectual tour de force, a triumph of economic history over the theoretical, mathematical modeling that has come to dominate the economics profession in recent years.”
— Steven Pearlstein, Washington Post
“It seems safe to say that Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the magnum opus of the French economist Thomas Piketty, will be the most important economics book of the year—and maybe of the decade.”
— Paul Krugman, New York Times
“Stands a fair chance of becoming the most influential work of economics yet published in our young century. It is the most important study of inequality in over fifty years.”
— Timothy Shenk, The Nation
“A sweeping account of rising inequality...Piketty has written a book that nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore.”
— John Cassidy, New Yorker
“Piketty has written an extraordinarily important book...In its scale and sweep it brings us back to the founders of political economy.”
— Martin Wolf, Financial Times
“The book aims to revolutionize the way people think about the economic history of the past two centuries. It may well manage the feat.”
— The Economist
