Capital in the Twenty-First Century - Thomas Piketty

Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty

Why does wealth keep concentrating in the hands of a few, even as economies grow? In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, renowned economist Thomas Piketty examines centuries of data to reveal how inequality is not an accident of capitalism—but a recurring outcome of it. Drawing on historical records from Europe and the United States, Piketty shows how returns on capital often outpace economic growth, allowing inherited wealth to grow faster than wages. He traces how wars, taxation, and public policy once reduced inequality, and why its resurgence today poses serious social and political risks. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery at Readers’ Republik.
