CHRONICLES ON OUR TROUBLED TIMES

Thomas Piketty

The economist Thomas Piketty, best known for his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, has long been a columnist for the French newspaper Libération. This volume brings together some of his most incisive opinion pieces from the past decade, tackling issues ranging from migration in Europe to the policies of the US president Barack Obama. A highlight is his analysis of the 2008 financial crisis, what has happened since, and what measures should be adopted to cope with it.
