New York Times Best Seller
The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system.
Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.
Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity.
Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new “participatory” socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

评论 ······
前面读了一部分，然后把第四部分读完了。文笔很简单是真的，但是过于冗长。感觉可以缩小一半。皮凯蒂的经典语句是Note…But I'll come back later。前面经济史部分，如果有时间还是可以读读。总之，历史确实不新鲜，人类在剥削的艺术上确实登峰造极。第十七章的蓝图很美好，然而不知道会不会对现实有影响。至少在中国，因为直球输出而被封杀的皮凯蒂，是不会有影响了。不过按照他的一个分析，中国…
失望
网上有两篇关于本书的书摘和简介，略窥一斑，皮凯蒂果然是值得期待的大家
6/10. （本来应该7/10四星，但太太太太啰嗦扣分。）
比上一本书更有野心，纵向从奴隶社会谈到当代横向贯穿东西方，重点讨论产生各种收入分配的政治结构和用于正当化不平等的意识形态之间的互动。
Piketty上一本书因为(和当代简中网民一样)夸大劳工-资本差异对当代不平等的影响，和数据核算不符，被同行们削惨，这本主线其实并没有围绕“资本”讲，书名这么起基本是为了蹭前作的热度。为了给前作这个b…
