Chronicles

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The best-selling, award-winning author of Capital takes on the financial crisis—in an accessible way.

With the same powerful evidence and range of reference as his global bestseller Capital in the Twenty-First Century—and in columns of 700 words, rather than 700 pages—Chronicles sets out Thomas Piketty's analysis of the financial crisis, what has happened since, and where we should go from here.

Tackling a wider range of subjects than in Capital, from Barack Obama to the migration crisis, it comprises the very best of his writing for Libération from 2008 until the present day. Now, translated into English for the first time, it further cements Piketty's reputation as the world's leading thinker today.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Chronicles by Thomas Piketty is praised for its insightful examination of economic issues, presented with clarity for readers without a deep background in economics. Critics highlight Piketty's ability to make complex subjects accessible, drawing comparisons to other renowned economists like Paul Krugman. The collection is recommended for those who appreciate Piketty's previous works on inequality and is valued for its engaging and real-time responses to significant global events.
