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.
