“It sort of feels secure to say that Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the magnum opus of the French economist Thomas Piketty, will be crucial economics book of the year―and possibly of the decade.”
―Paul Krugman, New York Times

“The book aims to revolutionize the way people take into accounts the economic history of the past two centuries. It should well manage the feat.”
The Economist

“Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an intellectual tour de force, a triumph of economic history over the theoretical, mathematical modeling that has come to dominate the economics profession in up to date years.”
―Steven Pearlstein, Washington Post

“Piketty has written an extraordinarily important book…In its scale and sweep it brings us back to the founders of political economy.”
―Martin Wolf, Financial Times

“A sweeping account of rising inequality…Piketty has written a book that no person interested in a defining issue of our era can come up with the money for to ignore.”
―John Cassidy, New Yorker

“Stands a fair chance of turning into the most influential work of economics yet published in our young century. It is crucial study of inequality in over fifty years.”
―Timothy Shenk, The Nation
