Le Capital au XXIe siècle

"Le Capital au XXIe siècle" by Thomas Piketty analyzes wealth and income inequality over recent centuries. It highlights how, without policy intervention, inherited wealth tends to grow faster than economic output, leading to greater disparity. Piketty emphasizes the importance of progressive taxation and redistributive policies to promote fairer wealth distribution and social stability. The book combines historical data and economic theory to explain structural patterns of inequality and suggests that addressing these issues requires political will and coordinated efforts to ensure economic growth benefits broader society.
