Yirmi Birinci Yüzyılda Kapital

According to some, while inequality gaps are getting deeper in a world where injustice is constantly increasing, others argue that the distances between incomes and wealth are narrowing with a natural tendency and that this process will work more healthily if the system is not intervened from outside. Well, in order to form an opinion on this subject, isn't it necessary to have information about the long-term change curve of inequalities, that is, the history of inequality from past to present?

Capital in the Twenty-First Century, which is the product of fifteen years of research and written in a language that can be easily understood by readers who are unfamiliar with economic terminology, fills the gap on this subject with a very extensive database. This fundamental work, in which a comparative method is used both in time (historical data) and geography (data from all over the world), is, in the words of Thomas Piketty, "a history book as well as an economics book".

We can easily say that French economist Thomas Piketty's magnum opus, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, will be the most important book of the year, perhaps even of the next decade.
(Paul Krugman, New York Times 23.03.2014)

Thomas Piketty provides a great service to both the academic world and all readers with this essential book. The thesis he presents derives its strength not from attacking one thing or another from a political agenda, but from carefully collected and analyzed data and justified thought.
(Rakesh Khurana, Harvard Business School)

Some books are just for reading, some books are so good that they make you want to read with all your heart, Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century clearly falls into this second category.
(Perry Lam, South China Morning Post, 23.05.2014)

Piketty is probably the most important thinker on the subject of inequality of recent times. In this book, he offers an authoritative framework that justifies the discomfort currently felt in liberal circles about wealth gaps.
