It seems safe to say that Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the magnum opus of the French economist Thomas Piketty, will be the most important economics book of the yearand maybe of the decade.
Paul Krugman, New York Times

The book aims to revolutionize the way people think about the economic history of the past two centuries. It may well manage the feat.
The Economist

Pikettys 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 recent years.
Steven Pearlstein, Washington Post

Piketty has written an extraordinarily important bookIn its scale and sweep it brings us back to the founders of political economy.
Martin Wolf, Financial Times

A sweeping account of rising inequalityPiketty has written a book that nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore.
John Cassidy, New Yorker

Stands a fair chance of becoming the most influential work of economics yet published in our young century. It is the most important study of inequality in over fifty years.
Timothy Shenk, The Nation
