In 'The Economics of Inequality', Thomas Piketty addresses the issue of increasing inequalities generated by uncontrolled capitalism. The author analyzes how tax reforms have intensified inequality in the last three decades, alleviating tax burdens on the wealthiest sectors. Piketty evaluates the effectiveness of social spending on health and education, employer contributions and social charges, pension systems, setting a minimum wage, the role of unions, the wage gap between managers and low-skilled workers, access to credit, and the Keynesian boost to demand. In addition, he advances with novel ideas to understand how inequities are created and to choose the best tools for wealth redistribution.
Thomas Piketty is a French economist who is a professor of economics at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, associate chair at the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and Centennial Professor of Economics in the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics (LSE).
