Capital
Thomas Piketty's Capital series examines the history of wealth and inequality. These books analyze economic data and political systems to explain how capital has shaped societies over centuries. The series offers a broad historical perspective on economics, politics, and social structures.
The series is intended to be read in publication order, starting with "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" and followed by "Capital and Ideology." The books build upon each other's arguments and historical analysis.
Thomas Piketty has written other works on economic inequality and history, such as "A Brief History of Equality," which can be seen as expanding on themes explored in the Capital series, though they are not direct continuations.
The first book in the series, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," was adapted into a documentary film titled "Capital in the 21st Century," which explores the book's central arguments and data visually.
