Thomas Piketty (2024) Nature, Culture, and Inequality. (Translated from the French by Willard Wood). Melbourne, London, Minneapolis: Scribe. pp. viii + 85.
A Comparative and Historical Perspective
In this unique work, Thomas Piketty presents a synthesis of his historical and comparative research on inequality. He challenges the idea that there could be natural inequalities and shows that the march toward equality has always depended on political and social struggles, addressing diverse topics such as:
- education,
- inheritance,
- the climate crisis,
- the taxation of wealth, and
- gender disparities.
