@WittyDragon Read #ThomasPiketty #CapitalInTheTwentyFirstCentury

@GNUmatic @flyhigh The last Study by #ThomasPiketty is partially covered in his book #CapitalInTheTwentyFirstCentury. It's an excellent book and even a better #AudioBook. It tells the stories and histories of people and how they were/are effected by the changes in Capital across history.

"The book's central thesis is that when the rate of return on capital (r) is greater than the rate of economic growth (g) over the long term, the result is concentration of wealth, and this unequal distribution of wealth causes social and economic instability. Piketty proposes a global system of progressive wealth taxes to help reduce inequality and avoid the vast majority of wealth coming under the control of a tiny minority." #CapitalInTheTwentyFirstCentury

Also, get the audio book of #ThomasPiketty #CapitalInTheTwentyFirstCentury. The math is good but the Historical Narratives paint an amazing picture and connect lots of dots.
