Publisher's Synopsis
A comparative and historical perspective, a synthesis of his research on economic inequalities, this accurate text by Thomas Piketty analyzes issues such as education, inheritance, taxation and the persistent gender gap, while stressing the need to drastically reduce the North-South imbalances as a condition to fight against global warming. Faced with hopelessness and conformism, the author reminds us that the road to equality has always been built on political and social struggles.
