Peddling Prosperity: Economic Sense and Nonsense in an Age of Diminished Expectations

Descriere: This wonderfully received book finds him in top form, observing the years he's dubbed "the age of diminished expectations."

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.
