by Thomas Piketty
On This Page
Description
The return of the best-selling, award-winning economist extraordinaire. With the same powerful evidence and range of reference as his global best seller Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Chronicles sets out Thomas Piketty's analysis of the financial crisis, what has happened since and where we should go from here. Tackling a wider range of subjects than in Capital, from productivity in Britain to Barack Obama, it comprises the very best of his writing for Liberation from the past 10 show more years. Now, translated into English for the first time, it will further cement Piketty's reputation as the world's leading thinker today. show lessTags

Readable, well-written essays - with calm economic analysis. It's very of-the-time though, and reading this in 2022 felt a bit like reading an old newspaper from 1941. We now know what happened with, for instance, the Greek Debt Crisis - and so a contemporaneous, partial economic analysis is only of so much value.
