An encyclopaedic, rewarding work that merits thoughtful engagement...Piketty successfully puts forward a superb, data-driven normative defense of democratic socialism. The principles that Piketty proposes--fair tax, fair trade, clean air and, above all, a democratic economy--have a huge amount to commend them, and make this book an essential read.--Ewan McGaughey "LSE Review of Books" (6/12/2022 12:00:00 AM)The scope of Piketty's inquiry sets his book apart from most work by economists on inequality.--Roger E. Backhouse "Society"His magnum opus...It is difficult not to agree with Piketty's compelling thesis--that inequality is a 'man-made' construct rooted in ideologies that have historically been dominated by the elite...Government officials and policymakers would find it useful in charting new economic policies for the future.--Omar Darwazah "Arab Studies Quarterly"Piketty's own historical and cross-national analysis is deeply informed by his concern with contemporary injustices, notably income and wealth inequities but also the ecological crisis and resurgent, racist or 'social-nativist' populisms.--Elaine Coburn "International Sociology Review"Worth the wait. Like Capital in the Twenty-First Century, it is an empirical tour de force that ends with a new policy proposal to reduce inequality...But bringing the issue of ideology and power into the debate over rising inequality is the truly great achievement of Capital and Ideology...Piketty has distanced himself from standard economics and provides a multidisciplinary, historical explanation of inequality.--Steven Pressman "Dollars & Sense" (1/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)Adds something vital to the author's decades-old, impressively data-rich indictment of unequal wealth accumulation. This book proposes a lively, tendentious, debatable account of the ideologies that propel different property regimes--as well as a nuanced genealogy of how such ideologies can change.--John Plotz "Public Books" (5/21/2021 12:00:00 AM)An important contribution by Piketty. He has enlarged the scope of economic analysis appropriately to include political power and ideology. The historical record he presents is greatly enriching.--Stephanie Seguino "Forum for Social Economics" (12/27/2020 12:00:00 AM)A remarkable achievement.--Geoffrey Wood "Central Banking" (3/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)A truly monumental work, reviewing trends in income and wealth inequality across of host of nations and eras, and attempting to find some overarching explanation for them.--Charles Steindel "Business Economics" (7/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)[A] sweeping survey of the root causes of inequality...Loaded with rich comparative data, much of which has been compiled for the first time. This information includes not only standard economic fare, such as data on growth and, of course, inequality, but also political data on voting behavior, stratified by class. This allows Piketty to show how political alliances were forged in the 1980s and '90s in support of a global order that fostered inequality.--Katharina Pistor "Public Books" (6/25/2020 12:00:00 AM)[A] wide-ranging historical survey of 'inequality regimes'--dogmas that justify hierarchies of wealth and power...This ambitious manifesto will stir controversy, but also cement Piketty's position as the Left's leading economic theorist.-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" (12/18/2019 12:00:00 AM)[Has] the potential to start an important debate about how to restructure society in a more egalitarian and ecologically sustainable way.--Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven "Nature" (4/28/2020 12:00:00 AM)[In] Piketty's magisterial survey of the central role that ideas and discourse have played in alternately justifying and questioning societies' inequities, we are reminded that political uprisings, financial collapses, and wars--think the French Revolution, the Great Depression, and World War II--are what drive change.--Scott LaPierre "Harvard Business Review" (3/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)[Piketty] expand
