A Brief History of Equality 2021
A Brief History of Equality is a non-fiction work by French economist Thomas Piketty, published by Harvard University Press. The book, translated by Steven Rendall from the original 2021 Une brève histoire de l'égalité, addresses wealth redistribution and expresses Piketty's optimism about the future. This 288-page volume aims at general readers rather than economists. Piketty reviews his earlier works, including his 2014 696-page Capital in the Twenty-First Century and his 2019 1150-page Capital and Ideology. In Capital, he proposed a global wealth tax as a solution to inequality. A Brief History of Equality expands on that idea by suggesting a progressive rise in taxation on the wealthy.
