MARX 2.0

摘要

It's not often that a 685-page economics tome almost overnight captivates Main Street, Wall Street and the cream of Washington's trend-minded policymakers and think tankers. But that is what's happened with Capital in the Twenty-First Century and its 43-year-old author, Thomas Piketty. Just a few days after its February release, the massive study of global inequality hit No. 1 on Amazon's best-seller list. With more than 200,000 copies sold-the most ever during a book's first year in the history of Harvard University Press-hardbacks are hard to come by. It's safe to say the French academic is now the most talked-about economist on the planet.
