Descripción: Críticas Monumental...one of the most thorough and illuminating studies of capitalist economics since Karl Marx published the original Capital 150 years earlier.--Gary Gerstle "Washington Post" (6/17/2022 12:00:00 AM)Not since John Rawls's A Theory of Justice in 1971 has a work of political theory been as rapturously received on the left as Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century...In this supposedly superficial and anti-intellectual age, his 690-page treatise on inequality, rich in empirical research, has resonated because it speaks to one of the central anxieties of our time: that society is becoming ever more fragmented as the very rich pull away from the rest. As Piketty elegantly demonstrates, as long as th"The enthusiastic reception in the United States of Piketty's rigorous Capital in the Twenty-First Century, which answers the empirical spirit of the age with a welcome rush of statistics, may be a promising sign of renewal in the otherwise sedate intellectual pastures of the continent. To have made the word "redistribution" utterable again by mainstream economists is already a considerable achievement. Having offered an unignorable account of the history of inequality in capitalist democracies, Piketty believes he has identified a Band-Aid of sufficient swath--a European tax on wealth and a parliamentary chamber charged with regulating finance in the euro zone--to cover Europe's wounds.--Thomas Meaney and Yascha Mounk "The Nation" (5/13/2014 12:00:00 AM) A New York Times #1 BestsellerAn Amazon #1 BestsellerA Wall Street Journal #1 BestsellerA USA Today BestsellerA Sunday Times BestsellerWinner of the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year AwardWinner of the British Academy MedalFinalist, National Book Critics Circle Award "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"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"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"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"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"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 Biografía del autor Thomas Piketty is Professor at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and the Paris School of Economics and Codirector of the World Inequality Lab.
