TO OUR READERS: When it comes to book reviews, there is a difference between speaking out one’s opinion and arranging a batch of negative reviews (for psychological or materialistic reasons). The arranged one- and two-star book reviews are typically posted within about one week. Then, they are up voted over the course of a few days so that they become the first thing readers see when they visit the book’s page. We encourage our readers to be cautious when relying on such reviews.
This is not the actual Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty First Century. The primary objective of this book is to bring insightful discussion and critique of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty First Century to readers everywhere. This book includes a critique of Thomas Piketty’s book, as well as the review of the future of economic inequality forecasted by other experts. Do not purchase this critique of the book if you are looking for a full copy of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty First Century
Income inequality in the United States and in Western Europe has been growing since the 1970s. In the US, the top 1 percent income share has more than doubled in the course of the last thirty years, drawing much public attention. In 2013, the thousand richest individuals in the UK had their wealth increased by 15 percent. At the same time, the UK government enacted a one percent pay freeze on public sector workers, re-enforcing the lengthiest wage squeeze since the 1870s. Modern capitalistic society is an unequal society, and that inequality grows fast due to the rich-get-richer trend. In his book, Piketty argues that as long as the rate of return on capital exceeds the rate of growth, the income and wealth of the rich will grow faster than the typical income from work. This trend will continue to support rising economic inequality.
In our critique of Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, we examine issues raised in Piketty’s book, for the benefit of those who wish to read or study Piketty’s book in the future. The critique includes summary and critical analysis of how Piketty’s book treats a theory of capitalism and the issue of rising economic inequality.

Conditions d'expédition
Book(s) will be packaged and shipped within two business days from confirmation of receipt of payment. All shipping costs are in addition to the price of the book, paid by the buyer. *Please note: The shipping cost quoted on AbeBooks.com may vary from the actual shipping cost depending on final parcel size & weight, buyer location and shipping mode selected. Shipping costs are for the final weight of the parcel (book size/weight plus packaging materials).
For Australian (Domestic) Customers: Domestic orders are shipped via Australia Parcel Post. Shipping costs are based on package size/weight, destination and speed (standard or priority). The shipping charges quoted at time of sale are for standard shipping for a parcel weighing less than 3kg and less than 40 x 31 cm in size. Heavier and/or larger sized parcels may require additional postage charges. You will be notified via email if additional charges are warranted at which point you can elect to accept or reject the extra charges requested. However, parcels weighing less than 500g may be subjected to lower postage costs (reduction will occur when order is processed).
For Overseas (International) Customers: I encourage you to contact me via email using the 'Ask the Bookseller a Question' link to obtain an accurate postage quote prior to making your purchase as Australia Post shipping costs vary considerably depending on buyer's location, parcel weight and speed. Overseas orders are normally dispatched via Australia Post Standard International (which offers online tracking). The amount quoted for shipping is based on Australia Post rates for a parcel weighing between 500g-1kg (approximately 1.1-2.2 lbs) and ultimate destination. The cost increases considerably for every 500g (1.1lb) increment increase in weight. Express options are not recommended as the are very expensive and are normally not much faster than one of the other modes outlined above. Extra shipping costs may be requested for parcels exceeding 1kg. Conversely, lighter parcels may be subjected to lower postage costs based on actual size/weight and ultimate destination. Any shipping cost increase/decrease will occur when the order is processed. You will have the option to 'accept' or 'reject' any increase requested before the transaction can be finalized.
