The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Piketty's work focuses on public economics, in particular income and wealth inequality.
- He is the author of the best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, which emphasises the themes of his work on wealth concentrations and distribution over the past 250 years.
- The book argues that the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future.
