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

Capital in the Twenty-First Century

Author Bio

Thomas Piketty is Professor at EHESS and at the Paris School of Economics. He is the author of research articles published in journals such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Political Economy, the American Economic Review, the Review of Economic Studies, Explorations in Economic History, Annales: Histoire, Sciences Sociales. 

He has done historical and theoretical work on the interplay between economic development, the distribution of income and wealth, and political conflict.These works have led to emphasize the role of political, social and fiscal institutions in the historical evolution of income and wealth distribution. 

Thomas Piketty is also co-director of the World Inequality Lab and the World Inequality Database, and one of initiators of the Manifesto for the democratization of Europe. He is the author of the international best-sellers Capital in the 21st century (2014) and Capital and ideology (2020).
