Capital and Ideology: Thomas Piketty

Показать описание
French economist Thomas Piketty has fundamentally changed the way we understand inequality.

His global bestseller 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' brought the phenomenon of rising inequality to our attention and highlighted its economic basis. Piketty’s latest book, 'Capital and Ideology', takes the discussion even further to examine inequality as a political phenomenon, shaped by ideology and social institutions.

What are the ideologies that have created our current age of inequality, and what are the risks this age poses? What would need to happen for change to occur?

Join Thomas Piketty in conversation with UNSW’s Richard Holden, as they explore the political basis of inequality in our hypercapitalist age.

Hey Man any thoughts on how The French can pay Haiti back, reparation for crippling it and doing such unprecedented inhuman act of making Haiti pay for its freedom. We need that money back now!!

Pikkety's tour was an entirely commercial contract based tour

I'm curious about what he says about productivity growing through the seventies. Wasn't there a major economic downturn during the Carter administration? Was the "top tax rate" actually paid by a lot of the wealthy during that period? I feel like there is a LOT of data missing here in this interpretation. I know he didn't have the time to break it down, but I'm curious. Also, the growth of inequality is bad, but isn't it true that the quality of life for the poorest has gone up generally over the last 70 years?
