"Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century makes a powerful case that wealth accumulates. But how many of have read more than a fraction of its 696 pages? How many of Piketty's groundshaking concepts have gone unappreciated, all for want of intellectual stamina? Deliverance is at hand in the form of Pocket Piketty, written in clear and accessible prose by an experienced economist and teacher--and one whose work was relied on by Piketty for his masterpiece. In this handy and slim volume, Jesper Roine explains all things Piketty."--Back cover.
