Pocket Piketty: A Handy Guide to Capital in the Twenty-First

Pocket Piketty: A Handy Guide to Capital in the Twenty-First Century

We all know the book: itâ€™s been hailed as one of the most important documents on how the world economy works, or doesnâ€™t work, and itâ€™s been a colossal bestseller since it first appeared in 2014, with more than 1.5 million copies sold. Thomas Pikettyâ€™s Capital in the Twenty-First Century makes a powerful case that wealth, and accumulated wealth, tends to stay where it lands: and with the passage of time, just gets biggerâ€¦ and bigger. But how many of us who bought or borrowed the bookâ€•or even, perhaps, reviewed itâ€•have read more than a fraction of its 696 pages? How many more shuddered at the thought of committing $40 to such a venture? And how many of Pikettyâ€™s groundshaking concepts have gone unappreciated, all for want of intellectual stamina?

Deliverance is at hand in the form of Pocket Piketty, written in clear and accessible prose by an experienced economist and teacherâ€“and one whose work was relied on by Piketty for his masterpiece. In this handy and slim volume, Jesper Roine explains all things Piketty.
