Stands a fair chance of becoming the most influential work of economics yet published in our young century. US Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman described Thomas Pikettys Capital in the Twenty-First Century as perhaps the most important book of the last decade. Martin Wolf, Financial TimesĪ sweeping account of rising inequality.Piketty has written a book that nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore.
