| Summary/Abstract |
Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century has attracted a great deal of attention, and deservedly so. It is a seductive book that soars above the myopia of ordinary economic analysis. It summons rich visions of the past and future and explores their myriad linkages. The result is a complex chain of arguments, inevitably with disruptive disconnections.
In the end, perhaps the author suggests more redistribution than his proposals
would deliver.
