Capital in the Twenty-First Century

Ganske tung bok, men anbefaler den likevel. Spesielt de to siste delene, som er mer rettet mot konkret handling, var nyttige for meg. Boka er innom mange ulike aspekter ved kapitalisme og skjevfordeling av midler som jeg tror er vel så relevante i dag som da boka kom ut. Skulle ønske at miljøperspektivet ble utdypet noe mer, tror akkurat dette har økt sin aktualitet i størst grad.

What I liked:
Based on solid research and data, tackles problems in a systematic approach, very insightful, easygoing and simplified, and the use of novels and historical pop-cult references to compres economic values.

What I didn't like:
He discussed 20th century economic way more than the 21st, even though I understand that we must look back to look forward but I'd have loved to indulge in more futuristic discussions and scenarios.

Who should read it:
Anyone interested in socioeconomics even without any previous background

1-line summary:
A progressive global tax on capital in the best way to reduce inequality.
