In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty offers a new perspective on a problem that has attracted increasing attention in recent decades: inequality. After analyzing huge amounts of data, the French economist discovered the following pattern. All other things being equal, rapid economic growth reduces the role of capital and its concentration in private hands and leads to a reduction in inequality, while slower growth results in an increase in the importance of capital and an increase in inequality.

In historical retrospect - and Piketty's book covers a vast period from the early 18th century to the present day - the growth of capital's influence was interrupted only in the twentieth century as a result of two world wars and the Keynesian policy of the Glorious Thirty (1945-1975). Today, the world is returning to a situation where inequality is steadily increasing, which can lead to grave social and political consequences. However, unlike Karl Marx, with whom Piketty is often compared, the Frenchman does not limit himself to a gloomy statement of the current situation and does not predict the collapse of the capitalist system. He suggests measures that could halt unfavorable trends.
