Why read?
Want to understand why the rich keep getting richer? Piketty's groundbreaking work reveals the fundamental forces driving wealth inequality in modern economies. Through extensive historical data, he shows why capital tends to grow faster than the overall economy, leading to increasing concentration of wealth. While academically rigorous, it reads like a detective story about money and power. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping our economic world.
