Second state."A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today."--From the flap. "Thomas Piketty s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is a monumental book that will influence economic analysis (and perhaps policymaking) in the years to come. In the way it is written and the importance of the questions it asks, it is a book the classic authors of economics could have written if they lived today and had access to the vast empirical material Piketty and his colleagues collected In a short review, it is impossible to do even partial justice to the wealth of information, data, analysis, and discussion contained in this book of almost 700 pages. Piketty has returned economics to the classical roots where it seeks to understand the laws of motion of capitalism. He has re-emphasized the distinction between unearned and earned income that had been tucked away for so long under misleading terminologies of human capital, economic agents, and factors of production. Labor and capital those who have to work for a living and those who live from property people in flesh are squarely back in economics via this great book."-- Branko Milanovic, American Prospect.

Piketty, Thomas, 1971-. Capital in the twenty-first century. Translated by Arthur Goldhammer. Cambridge Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2014, 1st edition, no additional printings noted, viii, 685pp., near fine dust-jacket, cover price $39.95, very good black half-cloth with black boards, only tinies ding at bottom of right corner, otherwise fresh attractive copy appears unused. What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In this work the author analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. He shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality, the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth, today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values if political action is not taken. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, the author says, and may do so again. This original work reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today. ISBN 9780674430006.
