Capital in the Twenty-first Century by the economist Thomas Piketty has been acclaimed as one of the most influential books of this decade. Its thesis that wealth inequality in the rich world is going back to levels last reached 100 years ago has prompted a fierce debate among academics and policy makers. While commentators have disagreed over the implications of the findings, even critics have hailed the data work underpinning the book’s conclusions.
