From Brexit to Trump, Piketty delves into the social and economic forces driving political upheaval across Europe and the US. Analyzing data on wealth, income, and corporate power, he uncovers the systemic forces fueling the current crisis. In vivid, authoritative dispatches, Piketty makes the case for a new era of democratic socialism to confront the challenges of our volatile times.
