Capital in the Twenty-First Century

by Thomas Piketty

2013 · 696 pages · Nonfiction

Thomas Piketty's landmark work analyzes centuries of data from twenty countries to uncover the fundamental dynamics of wealth and income inequality. He argues that when the rate of return on capital exceeds the rate of economic growth, wealth concentrates at the top, threatening democratic values. By tracing the evolution of inequality since the Industrial Revolution, Piketty provides a rigorous framework for understanding modern capitalism. It is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of global economic stability and social justice.

A well-known book with a dedicated readership.
