Wealth and the Good Society

摘要

Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century has attracted a great deal of attention, and deservedly so. It is a seductive book that soars above the myopia of ordinary economic analysis. It summons rich visions of the past and future and explores their myriad linkages. The result is a complex chain of arguments, inevitably with disruptive disconnections. In the end, perhaps the author suggests more redistribution than his proposals would deliver.
