“Capital and Ideology”

Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this 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. Read more at Harvard University Press.
