Piketty
Thomas Piketty (; born 7 May 1971) is a French economist who is Professor of Economics at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, Associate Chair at the Paris School of Economics and Centennial Professor of Economics in the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics. Piketty's work focuses on public economics, in particular income and wealth inequality. He is the author of the best-selling book '' Capital in the Twenty-First Century'' (2013), which emphasises the themes of his work on wealth concentrations and distribution over the past 250 years. The book argues that the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future. Piketty proposes improving the education systems and considers diffusion of knowledge, diffusion of skills, diffusion of idea of productivity as the main mechanism that will lead to lower inequ ...

Capital In The Twenty-First Century
''Capital in the Twenty-First Century'' (french: Le Capital au XXIe siècle) is a book written by French economist Thomas Piketty. It focuses on wealth and income inequality in Europe and the United States since the 18th century. It was initially published in French (as ''Le Capital au XXIe siècle'') in August 2013; an English translation by Arthur Goldhammer followed in April 2014. The book's central thesis is that when the rate of return on capital (''r'') is greater than the rate of economic growth (''g'') over the long term, the result is concentration of wealth, and this unequal distribution of wealth causes social and economic instability. Piketty proposes a global system of progressive wealth taxes to help reduce inequality and avoid the vast majority of wealth coming under the control of a tiny minority. At the end of 2014, Piketty released a paper where he stated that he does not consider the relationship between the rate of return on capital and the rate of economic ...

Capital And Ideology
''Capital and Ideology'' (french: Capital et Idéologie) is a 2019 book by French economist Thomas Piketty. ''Capital and Ideology'' follows Piketty's 2013 book '' Capital in the Twenty-First Century'', which focused on wealth and income inequality in Europe and the United States. Described by Piketty as "in large part a sequel" to its predecessor, ''Capital and Ideology'' has a wider scope, and Piketty has expressed his preference for the 2019 book. In the book, Piketty outlines potential means of redistributing wealth, and explores historical and contemporary justifications for inequality. Paul Krugman wrote of the book, "In Marxian dogma, a society's class structure is determined by underlying, impersonal forces, technology and the modes of production that technology dictates. Piketty, however, sees inequality as a social phenomenon, driven by human institutions. Institutional change, in turn, reflects the ideology that dominates society: 'Inequality is neither economic nor te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
A Brief History Of Equality
''A Brief History of Equality'' is a non-fiction book by the French economist Thomas Piketty translated by Steven Rendall from the original 2021 ''Une breve histoire de l'égalité'', about wealth redistribution, in which Piketty describes why he is optimistic about the future. Overview In this 288-page book targeting an audience of citizens not economists, Piketty summarizes his two previous books, his 2014 696-page ''Capital in the Twenty-First Century'' and his 2019 1150-page book ''Capital and Ideology''. In ''Capital'', Piketty said that a possible remedy for inequality lay in a "global tax on wealth". In ''A Brief History'', he developed the concept of a progressive increase in the tax on the wealthy. Reviews In her ''Financial Times review economist, Diane Coyle said that in ''A Brief History'', Piketty advocates for politico-economic change to reduce inequalities but does not describe practical solutions for achieving that goal.

Economic History
Economic history is the academic learning of economies or economic events of the past. Research is conducted using a combination of historical methods, statistical methods and the application of economic theory to historical situations and institutions. The field can encompass a wide variety of topics, including equality, finance, technology, labour, and business. It emphasizes historicizing the economy itself, analyzing it as a dynamic force and attempting to provide insights into the way it is structured and conceived. Using both quantitative data and qualitative sources, economic historians emphasize understanding the historical context in which major economic events take place. They often focus on the institutional dynamics of systems of production, labor, and capital, as well as the economy's impact on society, culture, and language. Scholars of the discipline may approach their analysis from the perspective of different schools of economic thought, such as mainstream e ...

John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes, ( ; 5 June 1883 – 21 April 1946), was an English economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. Originally trained in mathematics, he built on and greatly refined earlier work on the causes of business cycles. One of the most influential economists of the 20th century, he produced writings that are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics, and its various offshoots. His ideas, reformulated as New Keynesianism, are fundamental to mainstream macroeconomics. Keynes's intellect was evident early in life; in 1902, he gained admittance to the competitive mathematics program at King's College at the University of Cambridge. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Keynes spearheaded a revolution in economic thinking, challenging the ideas of neoclassical economics that held that free markets would, in the short to medium term, a ...
