"Inequality is not just an accidental by-product of economic development."
Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty delves into the interplay between capitalism and inequality over centuries. The detailed historical data and analysis on wealth distribution kept me engaged, especially the discussions on income disparities, inheritance, and concentration of capital. However, some parts were a bit dense, requiring multiple readings to fully grasp the concepts.
Overall, Piketty's work is a thought-provoking and eye-opening read for anyone interested in understanding the roots of modern economic inequality. Fans of similar works like The Great Divergence by Timothy Noah or The Price of Inequality by Joseph Stiglitz would appreciate the insights in this book.
