What to expect
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadbale, audiobook edition of Chronicles: On Our Troubled Times by Thomas Piketty, read by Charlie Anson.
The return of the best-selling, award-winning economist extraordinaire
With the same powerful evidence, and range of reference, as his global bestseller Capital in the Twenty-First Century - and in columns of 700 words, rather than 700 pages - Chronicles sets out Thomas Piketty's analysis of the financial crisis, what has happened since and where we should go from here.
Tackling a wider range of subjects than in Capital, from productivity in Britain to Barack Obama, it comprises the very best of his writing for Liberation from the past ten years. Now, translated into English for the first time, it will further cement Piketty's reputation as the world's leading thinker today.
Critics Review
-
The questions explored in these brilliant essays cut to the heart of our failing economic and democratic systems. If you have been influenced by Piketty’s landmark work on inequality, make sure to read this next.
Naomi Klein, author of 'This Changes Everything' and 'The Shock Doctrine' -
Piketty has transformed our economic discourse. We’ll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way we used to
New York Review of Books -
Amazing, inspiring, forward-thinking, and pragmatic. There is a pattern forming — Marx, Keynes, Piketty. As our world changes the surest explanations and most practical solutions change in turn
Professor Danny Dorling, University of Oxford -
The most important work of political economy to be published in decades
New Statesman -
Piketty’s treatment of inequality is perfectly matched to its moment … [He] has emerged as a rock star of the policy-intellectual world … His work richly deserves all the attention it is receiving
Democracy -
The author, an inequality expert, is distinguished. The work is acclaimed. The book’s empirical detail is already the stuff of legend
