A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year "An intellectual excursion
of a kind rarely offered by modern economics." -Foreign Affairs
Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the most
widely discussed work of economics in recent years. But are its
analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should
researchers go from there in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to
the forefront of global conversation? A cast of leading economists
and other social scientists-including Emmanuel Saez, Branko
Milanovic, Laura Tyson, and Michael Spence-tackle these questions
in dialogue with Piketty. "A fantastic introduction to Piketty's
main argument in Capital, and to some of the main criticisms,
including doubt that his key equation...showing that returns on
capital grow faster than the economy-will hold true in the long
run." -Nature "Piketty's work...laid bare just how ill-equipped our
existing frameworks are for understanding, predicting, and changing
inequality. This extraordinary collection shows that our most
nimble social scientists are responding to the challenge." -Justin
Wolfers, University of Michigan
