Le capital au XXIe siècle
Synopsis
Explore the fundamental forces shaping wealth and inequality across two centuries. This book examines vast datasets from twenty countries, revealing how economic growth and capital returns influence societal structures. It argues that while we've avoided Marx's direst predictions, the inherent tendency for capital to outpace growth poses a significant threat to democratic values, a trend that can be addressed through political action.
