Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality.Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality-the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth-today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again.A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, & the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data & clear guiding theories. In "Capital in the Twenty-First Century", Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from 20 countries, ranging as far back as the 18th century, to uncover key economic & social patterns. His findings will transform debate & set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth & inequality. Piketty shows that modern economic growth & the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital & inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality (the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth) today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent & undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, & may do so again. A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, & rigor, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" reorients our understanding of economic history & confronts us w/ sobering lessons for today. HIGHEST PRAISE: "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. Piketty, arguably the world's leading expert on income & wealth inequality, does more than document the growing concentration of income in the hands of a small economic elite. He also makes a powerful case that we're on the way back to 'patrimonial capitalism', in which the commanding heights of the economy are dominated not just by wealth, but also by inherited wealth, in which birth matters more than effort & talent." -Paul Krugman, New York Times -- "Piketty has written a book that nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore." -John Cassidy, New Yorker * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: THOMAS PIKETTY is Director of Studies at L'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales & Professor at the Paris School of Economics. He is the author of "Capital in the Twenty-First Century".* SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
