Piketty's Capital books

[ionelv]

Thomas Piketty wrote a few books about capital and inequality: Capital in the 21-st century, Capital and Ideology and A Brief History of Equality. Most recently he gave a lecture in 2022 about A Brief History of Equality which has also been published a few months ago and for which he has a webpage with all the figures and tables he used in the lecture.
