Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century

Fernando Estrada

Economic Research Guardian, 2016, vol. 6, issue 1, 45-56

Abstract: Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st century" has been the most important book economy in recent times. Its aim integrates the debate theories of growth, income distribution, inequality and differences between the extremes income and income of the majority. The work predicts a slow increase in the share of capital income and inequality. His proposal for a global tax on capital is a way to evaluate such tendencies.
