Thomas Piketty

El aumento de las desigualdades generadas por un capitalismo ávido y sin control es el gran tema de este libro. ¿Por qué un grupo de ricos herederos debería disponer de unos ingresos vedados a los que solo cuentan con su fuerza de trabajo y su talento? Thomas Piketty, el autor del celebrado El capital en el siglo XXI (FCE), calificado como un Marx moderno por el influyente semanario ingles The Economist, esta sacudiendo con sus propuestas el mundo del analisis y el pensamiento economico y social. A partir de una base de datos monumental y en constante actualizacion, y tomando distancia de las posiciones tradicionales tanto de derecha como de izquierda, Piketty muestra que la desigualdad se ha intensificado durante las ultimas tres decadas a causa de diferentes reformas impositivas que han aliviado las cargas tributarias sobre los sectores mas ricos de la sociedad. Analiza las brechas en la apropiacion del excedente entre capitalistas y trabajadores, las diferencias historicas y entre paises, las particularidades de la profunda inequidad en el mundo del trabajo y los efectos de las diversas estrategias de redistribucion. El mensaje central es que, mas alla de principios abstractos de justicia social, es necesario redistribuir mejor porque la desigualdad es un obstaculo para el desarrollo de los paises y las sociedades. Para eso, no basta con mirar quien paga, o cuan moderada o ambiciosa resulta en sus alcances una politica redistributiva: hay que considerar tambien su incidencia en el conjunto del sistema economico, y discutir ventajas y desventajas de cada medida. Asi, Piketty evalua la eficacia de los gastos sociales en salud y educacion, las aportaciones patronales y las cargas sociales, los sistemas de jubilacion, la fijacion de un salario minimo, el rol de los sindicatos, el abismo salarial entre los directivos y los trabajadores con baja calificacion, el acceso al credito y el impulso keynesiano de la demanda. Y avanza con ideas novedosas para entender como se gestan las inequidades y elegir las mejores herramientas de redistribucion de la riqueza.Piketty tiene cosas interesantes que decirnos: la historia estacambiando. Probablemente terminemos mirando con nostalgia los inicios del siglo XXI, cuando aun pretendiamos que los ricos se ganaran su propia riqueza. Para 2030 todo seraheredado.

Thomas Pikettywhose "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" pushed inequality to the forefront of public debatewrote The Economics of Inequality as an introduction to the conceptual and factual background necessary for interpreting changes in economic inequality over time. This concise text has established itself as an indispensable guide for students and general readers in France, where it has been regularly updated and revised. Translated by Arthur Goldhammer, "The Economics of Inequality" now appears in English for the first time.Piketty begins by explaining how inequality evolves and how economists measure it. In subsequent chapters, he explores variances in income and ownership of capital and the variety of policies used to reduce these gaps. Along the way, with characteristic clarity and precision, he introduces key ideas about the relationship between labor and capital, the effects of different systems of taxation, the distinction between historical and political time, the impact of education and technological change, the nature of capital markets, the role of unions, and apparent tensions between the pursuit of efficiency and the pursuit of fairness.Succinct, accessible, and authoritative, this is the ideal place to start for those who want to understand the fundamental issues at the heart of one of the most pressing concerns in contemporary economics and politics.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, "Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality--the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth--today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again. A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century "reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.
