Finalist, National Book Critics Circle Award "It seems safe to say that Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the magnum opus of the French economist Thomas Piketty, will be the most important economics book of the yearâand maybe of the decade."
âPaul Krugman, New York Times "The book aims to revolutionize the way people think about the economic history of the past two centuries. It may well manage the feat."
â The Economist "Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an intellectual tour de force, a triumph of economic history over the theoretical, mathematical modeling that has come to dominate the economics profession in recent years."
âSteven Pearlstein, Washington Post "Piketty has written an extraordinarily important bookâŠIn its scale and sweep it brings us back to the founders of political economy."
âMartin Wolf, Financial Times "A sweeping account of rising inequalityâŠPiketty has written a book that nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore."
âJohn Cassidy, New Yorker "Stands a fair chance of becoming the most influential work of economics yet published in our young century. It is the most important study of inequality in over fifty years."
âTimothy Shenk, The Nation
