EDITED BY HEATHER BOUSHEY, J. BRADFORD DELONG, MARSHALL STEINBAUM, PAGES: 640 PRICE: 1,099 PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE Thomas Piketty’s Capital is a muchdiscussed work of economics. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas that Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? Select economists and social scientists tackle these questions and interrogate his arguments on a range of topics – from power, slavery, and the complex nature of capital to the impact of technology on inequality.
