Description of product
Are Thomas Piketty s analyses of inequality on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas he pushed to the forefront of global conversation? In after pretty, a cast of economists and other social scientists tackle these questions in dialogue with pretty, in what is sure to be a much-debated book in its own right. Thomas Piketty s capital in the twenty-first century is the most widely discussed work of economics in recent history, selling millions of copies in dozens of languages. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? A cast of economists and other social scientists tackle these questions in dialogue with pretty, in what is sure to be a much-debated book in its own right. After Piketty opens with a discussion by Arthur goldhammer, the booklets translator, of the reasons for capital s phenomenal success, followed by the published reviews of Nobel laureates Paul Krugman and Robert Solow. The rest of the book is devoted to newly commissioned essays that interrogate Piketty s arguments. Suresh Naidu and other contributors ask whether Piketty said enough about power, slavery and the complex nature of capital. Laura Tyson and Michael Spence consider the impact of technology on inequality. Heather boushey, br An ko milanovic and others consider topics ranging from gender to trends in the global South. Emmanuel saez lays out an agenda for future research on inequality, while a variety of essayists examine the booklets implications for the social sciences more broadly. Piketty replies to these questions in a substantial concluding Chapter an indispensable interdisciplinary work, after Piketty does not shy away from the seemingly intractable problems that made capital in the twenty-first century so compelling for so many.
