Thomas Piketty and the economics of inequality
Author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century wants to right the balance with progressive taxation
University of Paris economist Thomas Piketty has tapped into the global debate about wealth inequality with his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century.
Piketty’s argument is that capitalism, with its impetus to innovation, is by and large a good thing, but it’s taken a wrong turn somewhere in the past 30 years, as an increasing amount of the growth of modern economies has gone to the people at the top.
