À propos de cet audio
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from 20 countries, ranging as far back as the 18th century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality.
Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality - the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth - today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again.
A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

Thomas Piketty’s best-selling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.

Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of the economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades.

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.

Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress.

Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat.

The Hudson’s Bay Company started out small in 1670, trading practical manufactured goods for furs with the indigenous inhabitants of inland subarctic Canada. Controlled by a handful of English aristocrats, it expanded into a powerful political force that ruled the lives of many thousands of people - from the lowlands south and west of Hudson Bay, to the tundra, the great plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest.

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing.

Really good information about inequality
I was not sure if I was going to like the book, I have read some reviews and some did not paint a good picture but I actually enjoyed the book, even if you do not agree with the main claim of the book (r> G) I do believe the good is worth the time to read it or listen to it, the information presented is really good and the explanations are clear, I really think is a good book and deserves the commotion that created when it first appeared, the last three chapters are really good.

Great book, but images are essential here
I don't study economics, but this book helps explain it, for advanced and lay readers. I do have to read it again to fully understand what was written, but that's on me. Great book, and a huge argument for the merits of a wealth tax.

This book is absolutely packed with information that will open your eyes to how the economy ebbs and flows. However it can be difficult to get tbrough as there are sections that are just statistics being read to the listener.

very dense
this book was very dense, and I needed to concentrate to understand what he was arguing. it might be better to read this in paper format, but I found that taking notes helped me to concentrate on the argument.
tickety is thorough, detailed and very persuasive. he draws on a variety of sources, including novels from the 18th and 19th centuries. if you want to understand more about the economics of inequality you should read this book. If you have difficulty following complex arguments you should stay away.
the PDFs for this audiobook are included when you download it, and it is extremely difficult to understand what he is arguing without looking at the diagrams. A big part of this book is understanding proportion and scale, and that can't be adequately conveyed audibly. You have to see the diagrams to really get an intuitive understanding.

Life-altering, fantastic
This book will be, to many, a bit much to wade through. I can say myself that I'd been intending to read it for four and a half years and was saved from failing myself only by a few weeks of monotonous labour and this audio format.
But it is absolutely scintillating, if given the opportunity, and is knowledge that should be encouragingly thrust upon even the seemingly uninterested.
It is not lost on me, the cosmic joke of me consuming this information and knowledge as I toiled in the sun this summer, but it is not a book about socialism or revolution or even seizure of wealth.
This book explains, quite succinctly I feel despite it's length, in exhaustively researched detail some of the serious and long standing inequities and corruptions entrenched in society that work against those who help to propagate it. The proletariat, myself obviously included, DESERVE to read or listen to this book. Thomas Piketty, though this is my introduction to his work, is a very skilled author and fair debater with a pragmatic but firm moral center.
I believe I trend to the left of the Author, politically, but I have no criticism of his works or any issue with his ethics. This is a masterpiece, I pray only I can convince many of my friends and family to take the time to read it.
5 stars or whatever, 3 thumbs up, etc.

Undoubtedly a dense book, the subject and its main focus is complex and has a long history. Piketty does a wonderful job of collecting, analyzing and deriving appropriately justified and far reaching conclusions about money an inequality.

Made me think!
This book is rather heavy reading material on economic history, fiscal mechanisms and macro theory. But taken slowly and thoroughly, the information is deeply informative and the analysis insightfully stimulating. You do not need formal economic background but a good background in basic economics and fiscal politics doesn’t hurt. The conclusions drawn are clearly controversial but so credibly presented that you wish you spend a day asking questions.

A narrowed minded book on how to deal with inequality
Long narrative to try to fit a story into a clash of classes where the only answer to the inequality problem is tax more and as per the authors words “utopian” and unrealistic solutions.
Read it hoping to learn something, but wasted my time
